Leyland Other models

Depending on the version, Leyland fitted the Tiger (PS) with the 7.4-litre six-cylinder E181, the 8.6-litre E87, or the 9.8-litre O600, all upright diesel engines. Buyers could choose between a classic four-speed manual gearbox or Leyland's own semi-automatic Pneumocyclic transmission with four or five speeds. Depending on the body, the chassis measured between 8.5 and 11 m in length.

As a bare chassis with no fixed body, the Tiger (PS) gave body builders great freedom over door layout, seating capacity and interior fitout, so it was put into service both as a coach with generous luggage space and as a long-distance service bus. The semi-automatic Pneumocyclic transmission was a technical hallmark that set Leyland apart from many competitors of its day.

For a preserved Tiger (PS), check the condition of the fitted diesel engine at the cylinder liners and injection pump, the operation of the manual gearbox or the Pneumocyclic transmission, and corrosion on the chassis frame and on the individual bodywork of the respective builder. Since body and chassis came from different firms, parts supply depends heavily on the particular body builder and today runs mainly through British heritage-bus specialists.
