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:
“Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard. Everything was expected of them, and they fulfilled all expectations. But I was the one of whom nothing was expected. I remember a game the three of us played. Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.”
—Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)
“The tiger in the tiger-pit
Is not more irritable than I.
The whipping tail is not more still
Than when I smell the enemy
Writhing in the essential blood
Or dangling from the friendly tree.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
