METRO'S ADVERTISING BUSES - EARLY EXAMPLES

Some of the earliest examples of full body advertising appeared on the Leyland Nationals and Volvo B58's in Metro's fleet. These buses were getting towards the end of their time with Metro and so it appears that each bus shown here only carried one advertisement while in Metro service. Let's start with two of the Layland Nationals to carry advertising.
