This was one of the participants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.
It's a 1942 Leyland Titan TD5 and was supplied to SMT in 1942 with fleet number J66. It remained in service until 1973 and is now in the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum. A note in the programme of the event reads as follows:
Leyland Titan TD5, Alexander L53R, 1942 DSG169
Entered by J. Pettie, Stirling, Scotland
Believed to be the only 'unfrozen' TD5 to be built, this vehicle was converted to open top in 1959 and used until 1973 when purchased for preservation. Restored to original closed top condition in 1980/81.
