Has anyone ever built one,sold one when new,repaired one,DRIVEN one,or at least seen one or possibly got a photo (side view) showing the 8 potter sticking out the rear of the cab .

Hi Dennis
I have been following " The Great Debate" with interest, but the proof of actual existence so far is on the same scale of success as finding Bownessie living in Windermere !!! Perhaps someone, somewhere, can provide the elusive paperwork to show a Guy Big J 8LXB. If this is ever found, will you perform a " SING AND DANCE " around the " Bring Me Sunshine " Monument in Morecambe ■■? Also, sir, does the finder recieve a reward ?
Just think about the publicity that would be to Morecambes tourism, maybe someone you know might be able to provide open-top bus viewing seats for all the contributors to this thread !! I think Id better sign off now, I think I can see a red mist hovering over the edge of Morecambe Bay…
Cheers, cattle wagon man.

Its water off a ducks back as far as I’m concerned CWM,but by comparing the Big J 8LXB to the monster in Windermere,all you will succeed in doing is setting off another “torrent of abuse” from the “believers”!!!And IIRC Tony Hudsons Guy Otter had 2 Gardner 4LK engines linked together so this would,of course,qualify as an 8cylinder Gardner surely! Tony reckoned he could go right over the Black Horse,with 3 decks of sheep,in top gear!!! Cheers Dennis.


Have a piece of cake chaps,while we examine the evidence :exclamation: :laughing: .

It’s a good likeness of you Dave,have you got a local baker near that can scan a photo!! Or was it all down to Tracey’s baking and photography skills?PS I hope a slice arrives here quicker than the Rouge & Brie Fergie promised me cause I’m still waiting!!

Tracy’s 13 year old niece made the cake,could probably post you a stale piece if we can find it Dennis :laughing: .
Cheers Dave.

Enoch & Eli ( Aynuk & ayli ) Black country comedians were always on about kayak and so forth Harry,perhaps you have seen them on your travels a few years ago.I think one of them sadly passed away a few years back.Never actually saw them live,just on Midlands TV.
Cheers Dave.
