Lot Ended
Description
Owned by one
careful skilled owner from 1979 to 2026; originally owned by Brynmawr &
Blaina Gas Company; completed London to Brighton in
2002
First registered and collected from the
Guy Motors factory in 1930, this Model ON is believed to be the only surviving
example of its type in the UK. It was originally supplied to the Brynmawr &
Blaina Gas Company and has spent virtually all its life in
Wales.
Purchased by a vintage commercial
collector in 1979 in derelict condition, a photograph on file records the
vehicle as found. Restoration commenced in 1985 and was completed in 2002, with
approximately 1,914 hours of work. The finished truck subsequently completed the
London to Brighton Run in 2002 and has taken part in further rallies and road
runs in Ireland in 2006 and 2007.
It was sold
with Brightwells earlier this year, paid for and collected. Once home, the 86
year old purchaser reluctantly decided to re-sell it, simply due to not easily
being able to hop in and out of the cab as easily as he might have
thought!
Powered by a 3,300cc Meadows
four-cylinder petrol engine, the Guy retains its distinctive Native American
radiator mascot, introduced by Guy Motors in the 1920s.
The truck has been beautifully restored and presents extremely well,
finished in pale green with traditional signwriting for Brynmawr & Blaina
Gas Company. The timber tipper body, cab and mechanical components are all
particularly well presented, while the underside photographs show a clean and
well-maintained chassis.
Having remained with the
same owner from 1979 until earlier this year, this is a rare opportunity to
acquire a highly distinctive pre-war Guy with an extensive restoration history
and proven rally participation. The vehicle runs and drives, as demonstrated in
the accompanying photographs and video.
A
beautifully restored and exceptionally charismatic vintage commercial, with
genuine rarity and an unusually long period of ownership.
