The Guy Arab was a bus chassis manufactured by Guy Motors. It was introduced in 1933 as a double deck chasis.[1][2]


In 1942, Guy launched a modified version with wartime constraints requiring components previously made of aluminium to be made from cast iron, increasing its weight by 20%. Over 2,700 were built during the war years.[3]


After the war, a single deck version was introduced, while the pre-war double deck version was reintroduced.[4] It remained in production until the 1970s.[5][6]
