Guy Vixen

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Guy Vixen was a light lorry built by Guy Motors of Wolverhampton, England, and a sibling of the Guy Wolf and the Guy Otter. Grace's Guide records that Guy introduced the Vixen as a 3/4 ton model in 1934, although the same page's list of lorry models dates it from 1933, so the exact year is stated two ways. A period advertisement reproduced on the Old Classic Car website describes it as a 3-4 tonner, placing it between the 2-3 ton Wolf and the 6 ton Otter, and a July 1938 photograph on the Grace's Guide lorries page is captioned as showing a Guy Vixen and Otter. English Wikipedia lists the Vixen among both the bus and the truck products of Guy Motors.
