1950s Royal Tiger
The Leyland Royal Tiger name had previously been used for an early mid-engined chassis built from 1950 by Leyland. It was given the designation PSU1.
The lighter-weight Leyland Tiger Cub chassis was introduced in 1952 (which later spawned the successful Leopard), and this rapidly overtook the Royal Tiger PSU1 in popularity with British operators.

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or tiger:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
