The classic sound of the Leyland Olympian rear engined double deck bus complete with a Cummins L10 diesel engine & Z.F. fully-automatic gearbox & I like that.

@@DanielsUKT there was Wrightbus bodied Darts offered as well, this was basically DAF/VDL trying to get in the mix having seen how well Dennis were doing with the Dart by making their own medium sized bus. Sadly it didn't do as well despite having the same engine/gearbox as the Dennis Dart
