| 摘要： | One of the highlights of a visit that Iain MacGregor paid to Lincoln in June 1967 must have been to find in service a most unusual Guy Arab HI in the corporation fleet, one on its fourth engine in 19 years and about as non-standard as the other three. A bus now in the care of the Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society. This was 23 (DFE 383), the first of ten Arab Ⅲs with bodywork built by Guy from Park Royal parts, and one of the manufacturer's exhibits at the first postwar Commercial Motor Show, held at Earls Court in London in September 1948. It had some innovative features in its body including warning lights to tell drivers if a passenger had pressed the next-stop bell or if someone had fallen from the rear platform and was being dragged along behind the bus. What was more unusual was the engine beneath the bonnet. This was the 10.35 litre Meadows 6DC engine built in a factory next door to Guy's in Wolverhampton and offered as an alternative to the 8.4 litre Gardner 6LW fitted in the other nine in Lincoln's order. This was replaced by a Meadows E120 engine, which in turn was replaced as early as 1953 by a longer 8.6 litre Leyland E166, which failed six years later. |
