I have never seen an ex Plymouth City Transport Leyland Titan as a camping vehicle before. Does anyone know its original fleet number ? This vehicle would heve been built before1958 as PCT boiught Leyland Atlantics after that date.

MCO669 was new to Plymouth in October 1956 - it is a Leyland PD2 with MCW Orion body. It spent some time with Hales Cakes as a staff bus, and was also used by another firm for driver training. It appears to have been a 'camper' since the early nineties.
