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.
