Leyland-DAB Lion

Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The Leyland-DAB Lion was a mid-engined double-decker bus chassis built by Leyland from 1986 to 1988. It was designed around a Danish Automobile Building design and only 32 were built, for Clydeside Scottish, Eastern Scottish and Nottingham City Transport. Production ended in 1988 after Volvo took over Leyland, so the Lion survived for only two years and was one of the shortest-lived double-decker chassis in the Leyland range of its day. It should not be confused with the Leyland Lion single-decker of the 1920s and 1930s, which was an unrelated earlier model.
