Leyland-Den Oudsten – other models: the collective page of the Dutch Den Oudsten buses from Woerden on a Leyland base outside the named ranges, LOB, LOK and LOS, six-cylinders of 6,800 to 11,100 cm³, gross weight 15
This page gathers the Leyland-Den Oudsten vehicles the register could not assign to a named range – the L.O.B., LOB, LOK and LOS. Den Oudsten Bussen of Woerden was a Dutch bus builder that fitted bodies onto chassis and engines from the British maker Leyland; this combination of Dutch coachwork and British engineering shaped Dutch city and coach building for decades.

The register lists here 4 versions from six-cylinders of 6,800 to 11,100 cm³, unladen weights from 9,100 to 11,580 kg, gross weights from 15,100 to 16,500 kg, lengths from 10,100 to 11,800 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,500 mm.
Buses of this combination ran in scheduled and inter-urban service for Dutch transport operators; the Leyland engines and chassis brought British drivetrain engineering into a market segment otherwise dominated by DAF and Volvo.
On these buses, the condition of the Leyland six-cylinder engine and its ancillaries, the gearbox and propeller shaft, rust on the frame and the Den Oudsten body panels, and the brakes and running gear all count; parts for the British drivetrain are now only obtainable through specialist classic-bus dealers.
Under today's classification, these buses, with a gross weight of 15,100 to 16,500 kg, would fall into bus class M3 (over 5 t); in practice, the few surviving vehicles mostly run on historic-vehicle plates and are therefore exempt from the tachograph, driving and rest time and toll obligations that apply to the commercial scheduled operation of modern buses in this weight class.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
