1951 Guy Arab III

This was one of the entrants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.
It's a 1951 Guy Arab III with a Roe C35F body, and was part of the Lancashire United Transport fleet from new until it was withdrawn from service in 1965. It's not listed in the programme of the event, but was at the 1996 Rally when a note in the programme read as follows:

Guy Arab Mk III, Roe Body, 1951                                                                     MTJ 84
Entered by      S.M.Torres, c/o Ebor Trucks, Acaster Malbis, York
Former Operator - L.U.T.  Ex. Lancashire United 440, this vehicle was repainted over the winter and appeared at The Museum of Transport's L.U.T. weekend in May this year.

1951 Guy Arab III

I took this photograph at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally that took place in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1995.
It's not listed in the programme of the event, but it's a 1951 Guy Arab III, formerly a Lancashire United vehicle. On 3 August 2017 I showed a photograph of this vehicle when it appeared at this event in 1996 when it was entered by an S.M Torres of Ebor Trucks, Acaster Malbis, York and reference was made to the fact that the vehicle had been repainted over the winter. The last information I can find about it is that it was owned by Cumbria Classic Coaches, but their website doesn't list it as being in their fleet. The DVLA, though, state that its vehicle tax was recently renewed.
