The horse may indeed be dead, Dennis, but only because you refuse to let another of those 240s out of your barn to revive it. 
Oh dear, When is someone going to put some real evidnence about the Big J With a 240 in , A close up photo would solve this argument IMO, So come on all you folk who think that Dennis is wrong, Regards Larry.
Only 29 big Js were made with 240 in

Only 29, no wonder we can’t find them! We couldn’t even find 40!

There is the “new build” doing the rounds 
,so some one is saying that they have accounted for 11 out of the famous 40 that went to SOM? If so pictures please

They must be smoking something “dodgy” Pete and hallucinating mate and the “New Build” while no doubt a very fine job is just a facsimile of the “real thing” but never-the-less gives us all an idea of what the “real thing” would have looked like if, indeed, there had ever been one built at Fallings Park. Cheers Dennis.

Picture the scene at Guy someone says what will it take to put a 8 LXB in it.Then someone with more sense says in good old Birmingham accent put a ■■■■■■■ in it and stop messing about we’re wasting valuable lunch time down the pub.

Some one speaking “Brummie” in the Guy motors plant would be going out the gates in a packing case marked “export”, It’s the best way you could insult anybody from Wolves

Hopefully,all will be revealed soon!
Yes.Because I’ve acquired “some worth it’s weight in Gold information”,which I am expecting to receive soon.
The blue Guy Big J4T 4x2 Tractive Unit,with a Gardner 8LXB 240 Engine,PWK 914M,owned by Wall,at the Leyland Rally,Sunday,23rd August,2015,is this one:-
DVLA information.New keepers must get tax before using the vehicle.
If you have taxed, made a SORN or had a MOT it can take up to 5 days for these details to be shown above.Vehicle details
Vehicle make :GUY
Date of first registration :25 June 1974
Cylinder capacity (cc) :0cc
CO₂Emissions :Not available
Fuel type
Vehicle status :Not taxed
Vehicle colour :BLUE
Vehicle type approval :Not available
Wheelplan :2 AXLE + ARTIC
Revenue weight :Not availableAlas! The cubic capacity of the engine is not given…It should be 13.93 litres…if this Guy lorry is powered by a Gardner 8LXB 240 8-cylinder
straight eight diesel engine…Flickr photograph:-

All I’m saying at the moment is this:-If PWK 914M is an original and complete Guy factory-produced Guy Big J4T Gardner 8LXB 240-engined 4x2 Tractive Unit,it is one of far less than 40 Gardner 8LXB 240-engined Guy Big J tractive units which were actually indeed built by Guy Motors!!!
I’ve been saying all along that Guy Motors produced Guy Big J Gardner 8LXB 240-250 -engined tractive units… And now that has been confirmed.
Watch this space!
VALKYRIE.
Come on Valkyrie,we are “watching this space”,just as you have suggested!

I can confirm that Lance Biscomb is correct.
I’ve just very recently received the production details of the 29 Guy Big J4T Gardner 8LXB 240-250 - engined 4x2 Tractive Units built by Guy Motors,
and once I’ve found out how to photocopy the details I will post them on TruckNetUK Old Time Lorries Website…as I promised in August…
Chassis numbers,engine numbers,dates,operators. I will try to publish these tomorrow:Saturday,19th September,2015.
Cheers.

And the wait goes on 
I hope you are not suggesting that Guy Motors built all 29 8LXB Chassis in one run down the production line because if you are then Guys managed to do something that they never could at Walton-le-Dale and Sandbach. Cheers Bewick.

It sounds like he’s got some serious ammunition Bewick.I’m thinking of deserting my post and leaving you to it.Just like anyone with any sense at Guy would have done when they saw that the guvnor was serious about putting that motor in it.Although to be fair it looks like he saw sense before he’d turned out thirty of the things.

Admittedly surely if they really built 29 of the zb things you would have bought every one of them.

To be fair Bewick was probably too diplomatic to make it clear that he meant was anyone in charge at Guy ever daft enough to build one let alone 29 of them.
