| 摘要： | The Leyland Society performs an invaluable service for current and future generations through its painstaking research into the activities of Leyland Motors, often challenging past assumptions about exactly what was what. It was thanks to such work that we now know that the postwar Farington double-deck body was a variation of the second last design built on the Titan PD2 in the late 1940s and not the final version built in the early 1950s. Likewise that the prototypes of what became the Atlantean were LFDD and not Low Loader, and that the original halfcab Lion of the 1920s was designated LSC and not PLSC as it was described mistakenly until recently. This latest publication, long in the making, has drawn on official sources in the British Commercial Vehicle Museum archive to get closer than ever to defining exactly which model was which in the 1930s Lion range, and other contemporary models like the bonneted Lioness and Tigress, the lightweight Cheetah and a one-off experimental bonneted chassis in 1931 called the Tiger-Cub, a hyphenated near namesake of the infinitely more successful underfloor-engined Tiger Cub first produced 21 years later. |
