Guy Lorries restored
| Here are some pictures of Guy lorries which have
been restored and which have been spotted from time to time by
the Curator or others. All further information on each of
these vehicles would be very welcome, as would pictures
and details, from owners or others, of other vehicles. |

| Originally, in 1937, this Guy chassis was bodied as a
dust cart but did not sell. It was rebodied as an ambulance and
registered (in Wolverhampton) in 1939. At Manor Farm. Owned by
Brian Niblett. |

 |
The interior of the ambulance, with the door for the
attendant to reach the driver's cabin. By modern standards a
little under equipped and spartan. But better than being in a dust
cart. |

dilapidated state, 25 years ago. The first owner was a fruit and
