The WETC at Winkleigh could always be counted on to provide some interesting surprises on a visit. One such surprise was this Devon General utility Guy Arab which had been rebodied by Roe. Numbered DG314, JTA314, in the fleet it has survived the intervening years and has recently moved up North to Halifax, but is still apparently in a very similar condition. It's a testimony to the Roe body that despite all those years it still looks solid and straight.

541. KHL839
West Riding Guy Arab IV 442, KHL839, with a Roe lowbridge body. A message has highlighted the fact, not readily observed, that the lower saloon windows were deeper on the nearside than the offside due to the sunken side gangway. From this angle it is possible to see how this discontinuity was incorporated into the lines of the body. The central cream band can be seen to be noticeably narrower on the nearside than on the rear (and round to the offside), the step in height being lost around the rear door opening.

Wolverhampton was to Guy what Coventry was to Daimler; a consistently loyal buyer of the locally built buses. When the recently permitted 2 axle 30ft long double-deckers began arriving in 1958, Wolverhampton initially opted for fully-fronted, forward entrance bodies mounted on Guy's Arab IV 6LW model. The first, with, a Burlingham FH41/27F body was followed by 50 with Metro-Cammell Orion FH41/31F bodies between December 1959 and December 1961.

806. RWY891F
Blue Line (Samuel Morgan) RWY891F, a Guy Arab V with Roe H41/32F stands at the back of Stainforth depot. It was new in August 1967 and, although bought by SYPTE with the business in March 1979, it was, by then, out of service. In fact, out of the six Guy Arab Vs purchased by Blue Line and Reliance between 1963 and 1969, only 891GWT, the first of these, was still serviceable at the time of the takeover.
