BCVM GUY BIG J LETTER TO BCVM POSTAL ORDER AND RECORDED DELIVERY 2-10-2015:-

We will just have to wait and see what The British Commercial Vehicle Museum Archives can come up with 
Meanwhile,I have sent an EMail to another museum in the hope that it can shed some light on Gardner 8LXB 240-250 Diesel Engine production,engine numbers,sales orders,engine allocations,etc. I await this museum’s reply.
And I might make contact with yet another museum for photocopies of some material… 
Watch this space

Welcome home,Bewick
I hope that you had a good holiday.
You still have not told me on how to pronounce your name: Berwick? Bee-wick? BUICK? as in the famous American motorcar marque,or whatever 
Please explain.Thanks 
VALKYRIE
Spud1960 QUOTE :Well although it looks pretty conclusive to me, the next comment from the doubters will be that although Guy offered the 8LXB there’s no actual proof that any were built UNQUOTE.
Bewick QUOTE Correct!! UNQUOTE I’ve asked this question before (please see last but one line of above photocopied post) :how do you pronounce
Bewick? Bee-wick? BUICK? as in the famous American motorcar marque,or whatever 
Well the doubting Thomases are wrong in reality. I wrote another letter to the Archive Division of The British Commercial Vehicle Museum,at
Leyland,BCVM Historian and Archivist,Gordon Whittaker,replied to me with the following information in his letter,please QV below for the reproduction.
I would have gladly payed a certain amount of money to get all known information on each and every one of the 29 Guy Big J4T Gardner 8LXB 240-250 Diesel-Engined 4x2 Tractive Units built,but at a £50 information fee per each Guy Big J4T Gardner 8LXB 4x2 Tractive Unit built,I really cannot afford it - £1450 in total

So,with respect,instead of doubting and/or debating ,whatever,I strongly suggest that you actually visit the archives of The British Commercial
Vehicle Museum,at King Street,Leyland,and look,see and read the authentic and genuine documents,etc,of Guy Motors in regard to the above
29 Guy Big J4T Gardner 8LXB 4x2 Tractive Units built!
I am not being clever when I say this:I am just being REAL 
In regard to photographs of any of those 29 Guy Big J4T Gardner 8LXB 4x2 Tractive Units built,Guy Motors had their own photograph and publicity
division in their independent,Jaguar and British Motor Holdings days. But after Guy became part of British Leyland,Leyland Motors’ own photograph
and publicity division mainly handled the photographs and publicity for the various marques of the British Leyland empire,but the emphasis was
on Leyland (especially Leyland) and to a lesser extent Scammell and AEC motor vehicles,at the expense of Guy,Thornycroft,Bristol,Daimler,Albion,etc. So there is no wonder why Guy-British Leyland publicity photographs of Guy Big J Gardner 8LXB 4x2
tractive units are rare - or if they exist at all

FURTHER RESEARCH:Guy Big J4T Gardner 8LXB 240-250 4x2 Tractive Units.
I sent an in-depth EMail-Letter to the Anson Engine Museum a few weeks since,and had a conversation with the museum’s curator on the phone.
I am about to send a further letter - by post this time - to the Anson Engine Museum - complete with those Gardner 8LXB engine numbers
from the 29 Guy Big J Gardner 8LXB tractive unit list from the BCVM. The Anson Engine Museum MAY OR MAY NOT have details of the above Gardner 8LXB engines,since the museum’s Gardner engine records do not cover 1974 et seq.Unfortunately.
There are one or two other avenues of research that I am pursuing,but I am not building my hopes up.
I will try to keep you posted
