The Wright Consort was a bus body built by Wrightbus on various chassis from 1988 until 1992.[1][2]

The bus was available on multiple different chassis such as the Leyland Swift, Iveco Ford, Leyland DAF R-series, Renault Dodge Commando, and Dennis Javelin chassis.[2]

Preservation[edit]

Leyland DAF Roadrunner G571 PNS entered service with Strathclyde Regional Council in February 1990 as bus 23189.[3][4] This bus has since been preserved by the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust (GVVT)[3] and can still be seen at many Bridgeton Bus Garage events to this day
