Greetings,All.
Ref.Guys. When I joined UCC at Poplar,the fleet was a mixed bag.4 pot and 5 pot Gardners,Leyland Comets and Thames Trader Scammell coupling artics.Then,in 1968 we got an entire fleet of Guy Big J units with the AEC AV505 in and with Eaton two speeds.I cannot remember any serious downtime with at all,apart from the mirror arms fracturing the top of the door and failing Stop light switches.They pulled well and novelty - they had heaters that worked.They were heaven after the above mentioned vehicles.Infinitely better than the LAD cabbed Comet.I agree with these posts,they were a great motor at the time.
