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.
