Vale of Llangollen, Cefn Mawr 2154 K

            VLT bought their first Leyland Leopard brand new in 1977, as VCA 995R, but a few months prior to our visit, it had received this 2154 K plate. However, it was sold early in 1985, surprisingly retaining the plate, moving locally to Derek Parish at Hawarden. He too let the plate go with it when he sold it in 1988 at Allander Travel at Milngavie. They soon transferred the plate onto a Volvo / Van Hool, and since then it has been on a succession of similar vehicles with both Allander and Marbill, who inherited it on a 1991 acquisition from Allander. It hasn't been in use for a few years though. 

The Leopard itself had an eventful time - Allander rebodied it with a Willowbrook Warrior for their Loch Lomond bus fleet in 1989, and sold it to Stevenson's at Uttoxeter in 1994. It ended up as a school bus with Hatton's at St. Helens in 1998, lasting there until 2004. Quite a life !
