I visited the NEC Show and came away with two firm conclusions:
Mixing commercial vehicles and cars did not work. There should be two entirely separate shows.
Leyland is still intent on eliminating any other marque with which it comes into contact. For example the only Bristol vehicle on show — a VA double-decker with an excellent ECW body — was minus any name-plates on either the front or even the steering wheel. It also merited only a single handout sheet. Yet this is the model that has done so well in the recent NBC tests Just how petty can one get!
I trust "'naughty' Ulsterbus goes on specifying Bristol REs, even if Leyland wants to stop this chassis, like the LH, because it seems to me that every Leyland withdrawal means another foreign entry.
