Portsmouth 100 (LRV992), sister vehicle to the open topper above, was one of several Weymann bodied
Leyland Titan PD2s with the municipality. It is seen at Showbus in the mid seventies - believed to be 1975.

Leyland Titan 78 (GTP995) was an all Leyland vehicle. It is seen here in the picture taken by the
Middlesex Advertiser, which subsequently adorned the front cover of 'BUSES' magazine, on
the occasion of the first bus rally which gave birth to Showbus. The January 1973 rally was
organised by Martin Isles at Brunel University as part of a student festival for the local community.
Former Portsmouth 78 lead the parade around the university perimeter road, with new Alder Valley VR 928 and Valliant Silverline's Paul McCartney's Wings liveried ex Eastern National KSW open topper
clearly visible behind. Glimpses include the preserved Burton's all Guy singledecker and one of South Midland's LH/Duple tour coach.
