The Roadrunner, launched in September 1984, has been a phenomenal success for Leyland in terms of sales and image
The second generation vehicles, launched late in 1986, have more power; with Cummins `B' series engines replacing the Scottish Bathgate-built. Two versions of the Cummins 'B' series are offered on the Roadrunner, designated the 301, and the 302 by Leyland. The two engines are of the same capacity, compression ratio, and bore and stroke, but differing power outputs. The 302 engine is fitted to the 8.13 Roadrunner models. The 86kW (115hp) 301 was fitted to the test vehicle, the 8.12 Roadrunner tipper and haulage chassis
From 2001 Roadrunner later became the DAF LF The LF45 and LF55 are powered by Cummins B Series engines. The distribution truck and pickup versions of the LF45 use the 4 cylinder, LF45s with powered equipment such as bin lorries and vacuum tankers use the 6 cylinder, and all LF55s use the 6 cylinder due to their increased size and weight.

I've always been a little intrigued by these odd American imports and over the past few days I've had cause now to get intimate with one.
Back around the end of the last century some folks in authority decided it would be a good idea if we in the UK emulated the American yellow school bus system. Of course there was nothing wrong in such asperations, but the system we already had in place worked perfectly well, it just needed better funding. Riding the tide of enthusiasm for change, Leicestershire dealer Alan Wilson of Ratby struck up a deal to import complete buses built in the southern state of Georgia from volume manufacturer Bluebird. Thanfully 'we' were spared the front engined truck derived dinosaurs and at least had buses which looked like buses ... even if they were akin to European models of the 1950s. So here then was the Bluebird 'Q' bus (type QBRE ... quite self explanatory if you think about it). I'd always thought these buses were powered by a Cummins 'C' series, but no, a little 'B' as per Dennis Dart lives in the vast void under the hood. That said, performance is not lacking (around town at any rate) and the bus gives a good account of itself as it buzzes along. Bodywork is all steel and as you'd expect, is very strong but there's little by way of ambiance in the saloon, the interior of which is all painted metal too. Electrically it's typically American too with odd (to European eyes) 12 volt electricals which gives the interior lighting a glow which the proverbial 'toc H lamp' would outshine.
Notwithstanding the above, they're well built, go well, everything's easy to work on and are fairly bomb-proof. Overall, I quite like them though were it mine, the temptation would be to paint it in a manner which would make it look like a 1963 BET style saloon!
This particular bus was once one of a small fleet of Bluebirds owned by Cheshire County Council, who, I must say, weren't big on keeping them clean from what I've seen these last few days. Today the bus gained it's first new PSV MoT ever and is I gather now for sale from a fellow 'flickrite' ... who's details I can supply if anyone's interested in buying.
About eighteen months ago, the family 'R' spent the best part of five hours waiting as ferry sailing after sailing from Dover to Calais was cancelled due to bad weather. In the quest for something to do in the absence of any ongoing information and after getting well and truly bored of seeing the same pointless electronic adverts and 'safety' announcements on the expensive electronic displays, I decided to go for a walk. This little motor attracted my attention. At first I made the assumption that it was a Marshall bodied Dennis Dart... however, closer inspection revealed it to be on six stud wheels (rather than eight). It is in fact a Marshall 'Midi', an attempt by that bodybuilder to break into the small bus market in it's own right. Rumour has it that the famous Bedford JJL in which they were a partner, provided something of a springboard. This little bus unlike the said Bedford was powered by a 4cyl Cummins B Series diesel. Sadly the type didn't win critical acclaim finding themselves the victims of early withdrawal due to both mechanical and body structure problems. That said, this had to be the best of the type that I've seen in many years, and surely worthy of preservation now? It had been new to London area operator Centrewest.
A UK 'offside' view. When the bus has windows for 90% of it's length, who then decided a port-hole should suffice for the emergency door!?
