The Leyland Tiger, also known as the B43,[1] was a mid-engined bus and coach chassis manufactured by Leyland between 1981 and 1992.[2] This name had previously been used for a front-engined bus built between 1927 and 1968.[3][4] It replaced the Leyland Leopard, which had been in production for over 20 years.[5]
