Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

emember summer, where did that go to? Well way back in June at the 1998 Leyland Rally, held at the British Commercial Vehicle Museum, a group of 50 enthusiasts joined forces to form The Leyland Society. Leyland Thrque. published last month, is the first of the Society's newsletters. The original bylwid Maw was actually published in September 1919 and was the in-house magazine of Leyland Motors. The mission statement (oh yes the Hawk's up to date with all the modern jargon) of the present Leyland niqui., describes it as an occasional newsletter designed to interest and inform all those who contribute in any way to the study and preservation of Leyland vehicles". The first year's subscription to The Leyland Society will cost £10 (1.:13 for family membership). Application forms from Bruce Macphee, 8 South Road, Newhaven, East Sussex 13N9 9Q.J.

Now if you were planning to go on Mastermind with the Leyland Atlantean as your specialist subject then I reconmiend you read Ron Phillips book on the subject and I can guarantee you will pass on no questions. This latest title in the Commercial Vehicles Archive Series traces the journey of these majestic buses from their launch in 1958 through to the last orders taken in 1986 for export to Kuwait and Indonesia.

After a few teething problems with the Atlantean, bus operators, cautious at first, began placing more orders. The vehicles were brought in to replace trams and trolley buses, as these new-style maxi buses had the capacity to offer 78 seats. These buses were exported to countries all over the world: South Africa, India. Portugal, Spain and Australia to name just a few. The book is illustrated in black and white throughout arid is a thoroughly comprehensive publication for all you Atlantean buffs out. there.
