We have dipped into the 35mm colour slide archive for this week's picture: a unique coach. Edgware firm, David Corbel purchased this Ayats bodied Leyland Leopard PSU5A/4R from brief initial owner Quirke of London. They had acquired the coach in time for it to be entered in the 21st British Coach Rally at Brighton in April 1975. It is seen here later that year on Epsom Downs for that year's Derby. Corbel named the coach Lady Margaret and numbered it 1 in the fleet, the company is still in existence with most of the fleet painted in a blushing pink livery. They traded the coach into Paul Sykes in 1982 but it is not known what became of it since.
