The British Commercial Vehicle Museum is a museum celebrating the once great British motor industry. The museum is located in the town of Leyland, Lancashire, England, it is this town that gave its name to the bus and truck manufacturer that became the UK’s largest motor manufacturer after acquiring most of the British motor marques. At one point British Leyland enjoyed 40% of the British motor industry but those days are long over. One part of the Leyland group that did survive was the truck manufacturing operations, its no longer British owned and now builds trucks for the DAF brand so if you want to see Leyland or Foden buses and trucks from the glory years of British motor industry head to The British Commercial Vehicle Museum.

    Estimado Director de Museo:
    Quisiera saber si es posible conseguir copias de los planos originales de los omnibus Leyland Modelos Olympic y Tiger comprados por la República Argentina en 1962 y que fueron usados para reemplazar las lineas tranviarias existentes en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.
    Soy historiador e investigador del transporte automotor de pasajeros y ese material no es posible encontrarlo aqui.
    Desde ya agradecido por lo que puedan ayudarme. Un saludo cordial.

    (Translated from Spanish )Dear Museum Director:
    I wonder if you can get copies of the original plans for the Olympic and bus Leyland Tiger models purchased by Argentina in 1962 and were used to replace existing lines in the City of Buenos Aires.
    I am a historian and researcher at the motor carrier of passengers and that no material can be found here.
    We appreciate so they can help. Kind regards.
