The Leyland Panther Cub was a rear-engined single-decker bus built by Leyland Motor Corporation in the United Kingdom. It was a derivative of the Panther that Leyland were forced into building for an influential customer, it was only offered on the home market, and only bought by operators in England and Wales. Leyland engineers felt it was underpowered and their heart was never in the project, although it was marketed to the extent of full-colour full page press adverts and the production of a demonstrator. Only 94 were built. They entered service between 1964 and 1968, few served full lives with their original operators.

abstract
  • The Leyland Panther Cub was a rear-engined single-decker bus built by Leyland Motor Corporation in the United Kingdom. It was a derivative of the Panther that Leyland were forced into building for an influential customer, it was only offered on the home market, and only bought by operators in England and Wales. Leyland engineers felt it was underpowered and their heart was never in the project, although it was marketed to the extent of full-colour full page press adverts and the production of a demonstrator. Only 94 were built. They entered service between 1964 and 1968, few served full lives with their original operators. It came third in Classic Bus magazine's reader-poll of the worst buses ever, only outvoted by the Daimler Roadliner and the Guy Wulfrunian.
