Berlei's Leyland Leopard make-over

I went to Floriade yesterday and couldn't get over the sight of a Leyland Leopard [I believe. If I'm wrong tell me what it is then] being used as a Berlei bra fitting room! Poor bus, no wonder it was blushing red. What an indignity!

Hey Carrie, it would probably be a MAN SL200 with a Denning Series 1 body, ex Brisbane Transport. The window sequence is the same, along with the front and cooler at the top.

Thank you for that. I will change it on my Fotopic site. It was a Denning, beacuse I could see the sign, but the other signs of the make were missing. So the MAN SL 200 has the same headlights as a Leopard, do they? I didn't think anyone in charge there would have been able to tell me what make it was, just that it used to be a bus! :doh:

it's ex-Brisbane 877, a MAN SL200. Delivered in 1982, and withdrawn in June 2006.
