| The wonderful AEC 7.7 Ltr. engine on the left that was the heart of so many vehicles in the fifties. On the right, the ill-fated V8 engine that "should have been". See also the bottom photo. |

| Not much room under the bonnet! This Leyland E181 model is tucked tightly into aTiger PS1 single decker |
 |
| The Daimler Roadliner was not the success planned. After take-over by Leyland, they tried to enhance the offering by fitting this AEC V8. When first presented to the public at a show in Belgium, it was called a "Guy Conquest". Now that harks straight back to BMC badge engineering amd really went too far! For a look at the power output for this engine, click the "I" above right. |

| The Foden two stroke looked like a normal diesel engine, at least on the outside. Commer's two stroke however looked like a horizontal engine or even a rotary.. |
 |
| The Henry Meadows factory was right next door to Guy Motors. After WWII, they became part of Associated British Engineering and then Quinten Hazel, the automotive parts manufacturer. They in turn sold them to Jaguar Cars who were going to manufacture Cummins engines there for Daimler. A company called "Jaguar-Cummins Ltd" was set up for this purpose. Daimler had plans to go into truck production, but this stopped when the group took over Guy Motors. The designers transfered to Guy developing the Big J range., so eventually Meadows joined with Guy in the same group. |
