The Bristol G was a double deck bus chassis introduced in 1931, the company's first dedicated double deck design. It arrived in the same year as the H and J single deck chassis, and like the J it used Bristol's own six-cylinder JW petrol engine. When diesel engines arrived in 1933 the company offered a diesel version of the double deck chassis as the GO, but the petrol-engined G remained in the product range until 1936. The G was replaced by the K in 1937. It was built by the Bristol Tramways and Carriage Company at Brislington, in the period when the firm was brought into the Tilling Group and began its long association with Gardner diesel engines.
