The future of the Leopard seems assured as work has now stopped due to the restoration of NHH482. More news on this subject
in the next update.
The reason for this is easey for me, since the death of my Father I have never bewen able to reconnect with the coach
and over the last couple of years work has been very miminal. Which is a shame because it is one of only a few Dominant 1's
in preservation and with work well in advance it would not take much to get it back on the road. I have the two vehicle projects
I have always wanted in 951UVT and NHH482 both of which raise a different challange and by 2014 one of them should be
back on the road and restoration on the other should be well under way.
