The Leyland Victory was a front-engine chassis which could be built into a single-deck or a double-decker bus. It was powered by a Leyland 680 engine and had a semi-automatic gearbox. In Singapore, the Victory were used as single-deck buses. The buses were new in 1978 and came in 2 types of bodywork; British Aluminum Co. (BACo) and Soon Chow, a local bus builder.

The body was made of fluted aluminum plates which were riveted together and deteriorated quickly. By the mid-1980s, the condition of a number of Victories were so bad that the old bodywork was completely replaced with a new one. During this period also, Singapore Bus Service (SBS) was experimenting with various air-conditioned bus models. Some Victories, besides having a new bodywork, were also installed with an underfloor air-con unit located at the rear. The Leyland Victory were completely withdrawn by the end of 1993.
