The Leyland-DAB Lion was a mid-engined double deck bus chassis manufactured by Leyland between 1986 and 1988.
History
The Leyland-DAB Lion was designed as a mid-engined double deck bus chassis based on a Danish Automobile Building design.[1][2] Only 32 were built for Clydeside Scottish, Eastern Scottish and Nottingham City Transport.[3][4][5]
Following the takeover by Leyland by Volvo, the Lion ceased production in 1988.[6]
