Awesome red colour

[@peteontheav1322]

I remember this bus in the chase bus services fleet. They were superb at the maintenance of the nationals.

[@Busesandcoachesinfocus]

Ah awesome, must be odd seeing it now though

[@superade1000]

I used to work for Chase, i remember driving these like it was yesterday. I’m still on the buses after all these years. But It’s not the same. Too many electronics, and so many break downs. Where as I don’t ever think I ever had a breakdown when I drove nationals! Old but Gold 👌👌 miss those days

[@joechadwick4681]

It’s got the modified rear engine flap, exhaust and rear lights fitted.

[@1973ts]

Excellent. I do like a National. I'm old enough to remember Rushden garage having new ones in the 1970s. Great video as always 👍

[@Busesandcoachesinfocus]

Thanks you!!

Needs a few adverts on it. Maybe: Radio Broadland. 97.6 FM Mann Egerton - Austin Rover Spruce Howlett - Ford

[@cidertom5140]

You should never rev a cold engine like that. However you drive it like you should nice and gentle on the gearbox

[@crazyleyland5106]

Give at least 30 seconds after start up before revving, to let the lubricating oil get to all the right places. Particularly for a turbocharged engine. So a bus driver told me, back in the 80s.

[@iankp5901]

And with the nationals never switch them straight off but let them tick over for a while we were instructed

[@cidertom5140]

@@iankp5901 I know people that do it with cars too it’s fo bring the temperature down on the turbo and engine. Some run for 5 mins before turning off

Nice video qnd I think thses are similar to the ones in america usa 🇺🇲

[@crazyleyland5106]

I believe the way they were built is. Usually in the UK, our buses have a stout chassis, with the bodywork then built on top. But the Leyland National was "ring framed," with, in effect no chassis, and a lot of the strength in the roof. The engine is completely different, most British buses of this era had 6 cylinder inline engines, horizontal or vertical. The Leyland National's was more compact and high revving than the other types. Very few V shaped bus engines in the UK.

[@jamesfrench7299]

BMAC look good on an MCW, not on this. At least it hasn't had a different engine transplant. This one sounds pourous.

[@cidertom5140]

[@stuarthowarth2972]

Ahh the awful 510 engine

[@crazyleyland5106]

I really like the noise, but even back in the 80s, I didn't like the pollution. Some National lovers might like clag, but I think preservationists should try to keep the clag down.

[@cidertom5140]

@@crazyleyland5106 it’s turbo lag that causes it.
