RE: Liverpool Corporation
According to my tattered copy of Fleet History: Liverpool Corporation Transport, L294,5 300, 3-9 were the unpainted ones from the stored batch of Leylands completed by MCW and delivered at the end of 1961. These were fitted with four saloon heaters (two up and two down) from new. I remember vividly getting one of the painted ones (L293) to school one cold and frosty morning.

I think, but am not certain, that AECs A228, 30-32 delivered 10/59 were also unpainted. No doubt there was a post-war surplus of melted down RAF aircraft at the time.

As far as I can recall the Leylands operated out of Green Lane until 1968 when L305-9 were transferred to Litherland. The AECs spent most of their life at PAR, I think.
