Leyland Panther buses

The Leyland Panther was a rear engined single deck chassis introduced in 1964. The PSUR1/1 was a stepped chassis designed for bus bodies. The PSUR1/2 was a straight through chassis designed for coaches. However one of the Luxury Landliner coaches was built on a bus chassis. Initially the O.600 engine was standard with the O.680 optiona. The PSUR1B from 1970 had the O.680 engine as standard. Air suspension was optional. I believe all the New Zealand Panthers had air suspension.

The buses on this site are not tracked. Data is as at 15 January 2012
