Following the introduction of the new Leyland double-deck bus body, Leyland Motors, Ltd., now announces an all-metal single-deck body of comparable design. Like the double-decker, it has a girdered cross-braced framework. Wooden fillets, secured by long wood screws, are used in the side pillars and facilitate the removal of the exterior panels. On the standard body, the inward sweep of the panels is continued to the skirt, but an alternative design in the form of a deep outward curved skirt is -available. A large destination indicator is built integral with the roof unit and a general cleaning up in design, especially in regard to the driver's cab and the front bulkhead, has been carried out.
