Guy Warrior

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Guy Warrior was a chassis range from Guy Motors of Wolverhampton, introduced in 1956 and listed among the firm's trucks, with a passenger version sold as the Warrior Trambus. After the founder Sydney Guy retired in 1957 after 43 years with the company, Guy continued to develop successful new chassis and brought out updated versions of the Warrior and the Otter beside the high performance Victory chassis. The Warrior Mark II was among the new designs still being produced when the company ran into serious trouble around 1960, brought on by the failed Wulfrunian double-decker and a costly South African sales venture. Guy entered receivership in 1961 and was bought by Jaguar, which cut both the workforce and the range.
