Agreed that looks like a Tiger, probably a 1935 onwards TS7, but I can't see any features that will readily identify the coachbuilder. Do we know the location? |

It's part of the scene outside a London football ground, possibly Chelsea, with the bloke running across to the mobile newspaper printing van. The McLaughlin-Buick is on the right. |

Thanks. I was hoping it was somewhere in the provinces where I could take a punt on the operator to narrow it down a bit. That coachwork has a fairly distinctive chariot panel, but unfortunately the rest could be anybody. |

![[Image: 12-23coacha.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/12-23coacha.jpg) ![[Image: 12-23coachb.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/12-23coachb.jpg) May be April 36 match Chelsea vs Portsmouth as comments here. Plate looks like CLF 153 (which would be amazing coincidence for the Buick CLF 252 alongside) or CUF 153 (March 36 Brighton) which comes up as a Southdown Tiger TS7: "1153 (CUF 153) TS7 10123 / Burlingham B1298, deliv.7/36. Body rebuilt by Willowbrook 1949. To 8.6 litre oil engine 6/50. To Frank Cowley (dealer), Salford 5/57. To Hadsphaltic (contractor), London EC3 6/57, to Tyre & General (dealer), Leicester 10/60." However if delivered 7/36 it can't be the April 36 match, but 03 Oct 1936 Chelsea v Portsmouth 1-1 League Division One would fit instead. Destination board says Private. Might even be the Portsmouth team bus parked beside the stadium ?? |

That's it. Leyland Tiger TS7/Burlingham. Unusual in that Southdown favoured Harrington as its normal coachbuilder, and I had written Southdown out of my equation as the livery looked too plain. |

I found a photograph of CUF 154 showing the curved chariot panel of the Burlingham body, but it is part of an e-bay advert and I can't get a copy able link. It looks to have confirmed the identification. |
