It is in the liVery of Edinburgh Corporation and has a Pnetimo-Cyclic semi-automatic gearbox and a straight-through rear axle, not the dropped axle introduced last year.

The wheelbase is 18 ft. 6 in. and the Alexander 42-seat service-bus body is 36 ft. long. The Leyland 0.600 engine develops 125 b.h.p. at 1,700 r.p.m. and the drive is also through a semi-automatic PneumoCyclic gearbox. The Panther is for Glasgow Corporation and a special ventilation system incorporates ducts running the full length of the body .above the windows.
Two Beaver tractive units can be seen, one on the Leyland stand and one shown by Millburn Motors. Both are for 30 tons g.t.w. and being from the Freightline range have the Leyland Ergomatic tilt cab. In both cases power is provided by a Leyland 0.680 Mk. H Power-Plus diesel engine which produces_ 200 b.h.p. at 2,200 r.p.m., and a seven-speed constant-mesh gearbox is fitted. Millburn Motors are also showing a Leyland 90, 2.5-ton load-capacity chassis with a dropside body built by the exhibitors. On this model a Leyland 0E..160 engine is employed which gives 60 b.h.p.
3.000 r.p.m.
A Freightline Badger tractive unit for 26 tons gross train weight is shown by J. Wilkinson and on this stand also there is a Leyland 20 1-ton van. This has a 7 ft. 5 in. wheelbase and the internal body capacity is 181 cu. ft. The lighter-weight version of this model, the Leyland 15, can be seen on the Leyland stand and apart from the reduction in load capacities to 15 cwt., the wheelbase is 7 ft. and cubic capacity 166 Cu. ft.
