In 1947 Blackburn Corporation Transport ordered 10 single deck Leyland Tiger PS1s which were provided in two batches, and this vehicle was part of the second batch delivered in March 1948. The programme of the event had this information about it:
Leyland Tiger PS1, Crossley Body, 1947 BCB340
Blackburn Borough Transport Ltd
Entered by P Beaumont
This vehicle is one of a batch of 5 which entered service in 1948. Sold for preservation in 1968 and re-purchased by BBT Ltd in 1978 and restored to present livery.
The DVLA now has no record of this registration number and sadly, looking at the last comment on this site, it seems that this vehicle has been neglected to such an extent that it is now beyond repair.
On 11 December 2018 I showed a photograph of another Leyland Tiger PS1 that I had taken at the Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in September 1996.
