SCT'61
Roger Janes Memorial Gallery

Southdown 801, LCD201, a Leyland PSU1/15 Royal Tiger/ Duple Ambassador C26C was the second of ten 2 and 1 seated tourers new in 1951.
It was photographed by Roger's friend Roy Brown when it was newly delivered at Hilsea. According to Roger's notes it was only at Hilsea for 2 days as Continental Tours were then centered on Brighton, and that 'About 40 other blokes took the same shot that day'. I wonder who they were? Any of you on SCT61? It must have looked pretty spectacular in May 1951 compared to its predecessors.

Photo taken by Roy Brown (Roger Janes collection), May 1951, Hilsea Garage
