The Daimler Fleetline, known as the Leyland Fleetline from about 1975, was a rear-engined double-decker bus chassis built between 1960 and 1983, the second of three Daimler bus models to carry a marque name as well as an alphanumeric code. It followed Leyland's Atlantean as the second rear-engined double-decker from a UK maker, and from the outset had a drop-centre rear axle as standard so that low-height bodywork needed no awkward seating layout upstairs. Production started with Gardner 6LX or 6LW engines, with the 6LXB from 1968 and Leyland's O.680 from 1970, and moved from Coventry to Farington in 1973. The first prototype was unveiled in December 1960 and London Transport bought 2,646 of them between 1970 and 1978.
