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:
“Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
To an inordinate race?”

“When there is no tiger on the mountain, the monkey becomes king.”
