Preston PD.
Not unreasonably, allowing for the proximity of the manufacturer, Preston Borough Transport favoured Leyland products for many years. Seen here in a picture I took in the late 1970s is their driver trainer FRN 738. Not only was the PD2's chassis built by Leyland, but its body was too.
I've no idea how long it survived for, but if it didn't make it into preservation, I'm sure it would have been a good candidate.
I'd no recollection of ever seeing this picture before until my latest round of re-scanning!
