1958 Leyland Titan PD2/34

This was one of the entrants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1995.
It's a 1958 Leyland Titan PD2/34 with a Burlingham H64R body, originally part of the Manchester Corporation Transport fleet, and is now part of the collection of the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester. A note in the programme of the event says this about the vehicle:

Leyland PD2/34, Burlingham H64R, 1958                                           TNA520
Entered by         J Crankshaw, Meltham, Huddersfield
This vehicle is unusual in that it originally entered service with a fully automatic gearbox. It was later converted to semi-automatic, which is itself unusual.
