Covering all the motor bus and trolleybus products of Guy Motors,
this book recounts the history of an iconic British coachbuilder.
It begins with the early origins of Sydney Guy's eponymous company,
followed by the ubiquitous Arab bus and the eventual absorption of
the company into the British Leyland empire. Starting with the
small single deck vehicles of the 1920s, the story continues with
the development of the six-wheeled chassis, with both internal
combustion and electrically powered trolleybus formats. The book
also examines the leading technological developments in braking,
suspension and chassis design, now commonplace, that were to lead
to both the Victory and Wulfrunian products, neither of which were
the commercial success originally intended. The story develops with
the acquisition of the Guy Motors business by Jaguar and eventual
absorption into British Leyland, and ends with the final Guy
Motors-inspired designs sold under the Leyland brand. In addition
to new images of preserved vehicles, the book is illustrated with
an extensive selection of period images of vehicles in normal
service and manufacturer's sales brochures.
