78. PBC103G
Leicester bought their second batch of Leyland Atlanteans in 1969 which carried ECW bodies and were PDR1A/1 chassis. They were originally ordered as ECW bodied Leyland Titan PD3s but the order was changed to take advantage of the government's bus grant scheme which offset some of the cost of new vehicles. They had low driving positions giving rise to a rather odd frontal appearance. 103, PBC103G, is seen in the Haymarket Leicester in 1982.
