Were there any lawsuits or royalty payments involved when Harrington brought out their Crusader a few years later, or Willowbrook theirs in the 1980s?

As Leyland are no longer around, I suppose there's nothing to stop the re-use of some of their old chassis names as coachwork models nowadays (eg Plaxton Panther, Cheetah - and didn't East Lancs have a Lowlander in their range for a while?), but it does seem "wrong" to me.

Graham, I agree about the 'wrong'. It shows a lack of imagination for new names by the bodybuilders. What is that thing protruding from the centre front of the roof ?

Whilst not unattractive, it does rather have the appearance of a "cut and shut" with the front and rear sections designed by two different people.

Michael, I think you may have worked out why it had a short service life.
