Comments:
Leyland stopped making buses in 1991, having been bought by Volvo in March 1988. In September 1988 Volvo dropped the Leyland name. I was writing the Volvo electrical service manuals, including those for Volvo-built Olympians (which were much revised from the Leyland design) around that time, so I believe that this is actually a Volvo-built Olympian.

Hi Peter,
You are right, of course, that something is wrong here. I got the info from a site called www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk. However I copied some of the info wrongly, according to this site this bus was built in 1991/92 and was one of the last Leyland Olympians to be built. See www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk/chassis/lists/chassis344.asp?MenuType=Chassis&Manu=Leyland
for the details.
