Seen resting outside the Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate is Southdown 1720, 2720CD, a Leyland Leopard L2T with beautiful Harrington Cavalier C28F coachwork - one of a batch of 30 delivered new in 1961 (1700-1729: 2700-2729CD).
The Classic Buses website (Southdown coaches 1951-1961) lists many of the batch as having been re-seated to C41F layout in later life, or in some cases to C39F, but whether 1720 was re-seated at any point, I do not know.
