The Leyland B21 was a bus chassis manufactured by Leyland between 1979 and 1985. The chassis was developed from the integral Leyland National and was designed for overseas markets,[1][2] with its biggest market being Australia.
The B21 was assembled at Leyland's Workington factory, with some work additionally performed at the company's Bristol works.[1][3]
