DBY 419 (fleet number - and former registration - 1942) may have a passing resemblance to a Plaxton-bodied Leyland, but in fact it has a 1940 Leyland Hippo lorry (and veteran of the seige?) chassis, number 305955, beneath its restrained Maltese body. The bodybuilder didn't hide the vehicle's origins - he painted HIPPO on the mirrors.
