- This is a video of me getting to drive this vintage 1962 Guy lorry around Huddersfield and then to Wakefield with my friend. We were attending the 2022 road run with many other vintage lorries such as Foden, Atkinson ERF GUY Albion Scania super Daf Leyland Scammell and many others.

As an HGV Driver of 32 years from crash boxes to today’s automatics, I must say you did a fantastic job driving that old girl.
Great video with all the engine sounds. No stupid background music
The Invincible was a lovely lorry to drive, I always reckoned if they had set the cab and the roof a little higher and modernized the cab it would have been a winner again, personal view.
That is real truck driving brings back many happy memories driving our Bedford tk delivering 55,kilo sacks of coal around the cotswolds hard work but it learnt me how to drive properly not like today when most of it's done for you, roy
Thank you for your comment. Dad did that when he was a lad and said the first week your back is red raw. Hats off to you.
Bedford TK... great trucks. We had them all over Ireland.
Beautiful Englishman scenery and thanks to those preserving the old trucks
Beautiful changing the gears with double declutching! Absolutely gorgeous!
Greetings from USA (Virginia more pecisely). I was researching the Matchbox toy Guy Warrior Car Transporter and Google took me to your video. Algorithms can lead to unexpected forks in the road. A great video. Matchbox collecting exposed me to all sorts of European vehicles i wouldn't othewise recognize. Among the trucks (lorries) are Guy Warrior, AEC, Leyland, Bedford, Albion, Foden, DAF, Mercedes Unimog, Scammell. Your personality translates very well through the camera and even makes tractors interesting. 😊 i hope to eventually view all of your videos,
Thank you for your comment. Very much appreciated. I do plan on doing more videos on vintage lorrys and tractor.
What a lovely old truck and it sounds as sweet as a nut too. I enjoyed watching you taking it for a drive.
Cant beat a Gardner regardless of model or HP.
Fabulous, my father's first truck 4x2 tipper invincible with a Leyland 400.
Brilliant ! Smile on my face start to finish .
I remember this lorry when it traveled Devon and Cornwall for years has a showman’s lorry . It had large box bodywork and had the name Cannon Ball painted on the front of the cab.
How interesting. Thank you for sharing. 👌👌
I love Leyland Albion❤
I love the old commers. And foden two stroke sounds used to live next door to a firm that ran fodens in the 50 60s. Five am starts Love the sounds as they worked the twelve speed box
They sound good memories
This is glorious!
Looked a handful Richard, but sounded mint.
When I was 19 back in 74 I worked for Cook & Richardson Agri Contractors and in summer emptied slurry lagoons using an old ex army 4wd bull nose Austin tanker. Not having an hgv licence I used to be towed with a series2 swb landrover, but had wagon running as if got to any incline, I had to give it a helping hand up it... great fun.😉
Lovely story. Thank you for sharing. 👌
Your so good at doing these video's Richard and you captured everything about the Invincible from the noise to the silence in the rain! -yes the starter was on its last legs but thankfully got through today ok and the last few weeks in a 'Bollywood' film.
Thank you for asking me to come. I really enjoyed it. We did say. It would have been good to get some road side action on the way home. Leaves and wet roads. 👌
@@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer It would and it sounds good to me.
Brilliant video you get to drive some lovley old trucks👍
Lovely Wagon ❤️
I drove an Invincible tractor unit with a 180 Cummings that also had the air cleaner in the cab, drove me nuts and made me deaf 🤔..thankfully didn't have it long before I got one with the filter on the outside 🤣 followed a short while later to a BigJ......luxury ..
I think it’s British engineering thought processes to a t. “ where would be the best place to get clean air”, inside the cab. Forget the noise!!!
Love these videos, camera positions, descriptions and some great driving of these old beasts from yourself. Recognise quite a few locations in your vids as I’m Barnsley too 😀
Mrr. Enjoyed- super .
That engine was not cold when you started it i one owned a S80 Foden with a 180 Gardner your guy looks a nice Truck When a lad i was a lad st Ives sand and gravel ran 6x4 GUY invisible`s ? they used to come though in convoy of course i was envious of those drivers
Great Video Richard as usual , never seen one of those Guy Invincible's in the flesh was a real treat to see it lovely Lorry, Fantastic day out John Murphy really enjoyed the day .
It was a good day. 👌👌
New saw this mark outside UK, but great engine sound.
Guy lorry one of my favourites l was on the motorway yesterday all the lorries were mostly Scanias and Dafs ,no AEC, no Bedford no ford ,what ashame
It truly is a shame. We could build good wagons. We just did not give the drivers what they wanted.
What a motor , I would love to own her
Double-clutch synchromeshed gear box
Loaded going up hill you'd have to change gear a bit quicker than that ,but I'm glad you enjoyed yourself
Hello Mr. B. Mr. M just sent me the link to this great video. I didn't realise you did this here on YT. Anyways, it was great to see you again, and I'm now your newest subscriber.
Cheers David. Sorry we did not get to chat much. It was a good day.
@@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer Likewise, I really enjoyed it all. Also drove home at my leisure yesterday via the scenic route, and all in very nice sunshine.
Next time lets arrange for me to go off in front of you and I will get you some roadside footage, climbing some big hill maybe?
@@davidjones8680 good idea. We said something like that on the way back.
Impressive, and a lot of skill /experience needed to drive this Guy! Is it just me or is the engine air take fitted inside the cab ?????
The air cleaner sure is in the cab. Not good for the ergonomics of the cab.
@@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer is there enough air for the driver when the windows are up haha.
Nice video Richard! What was the big thing in the middle of the cab for? Looks like a blower or something? 😀😀
It’s the air cleaner Joe. Lots of wagons of the time had them in the cab. They are very noisy.
It's a sucker actually
Joe (Seels) wouldn't know where to start 😂
Bless him. 🤭

Richard (I am not an HGV drver) how did the Guy drive compared to a LAD cab Albion?
Good question. They are both very different to drive really. Access is much better in the Albion but once your in the guy it’s quite a nice position.
Air filter inside cabin?
Brilliant Richard. Great gear changes as usual. The good old invincible. What’s the difference between the Invincible and the Warrior?
Cheers and good question. I have not got a clue? All I no that this is a drawbar wagon designed to gross at 32ton!!!! I don’t think I would fancy that.
@@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer
😂 just the thought of dragging 32 ton up windy hill gives me the heeby jeebies. No! My dad drove a Guy Warrior for North Lincs Haulage, Scunthorpe back in the day. It was an articulated unit with Cummins engine. I’ve no idea what the difference is either. They did 8 wheeler invincibles and 8 wheeler warriors, same with the artics too. Invincibles and warriors where the same lorries with different badges or was they? Perhaps the Invincibles had Gardner’s in them and the Warriors had Cummins in them….who knows. Thanks anyway for getting back to me Richard. Oh! Have you still got your Skippy?
@@TheChrysler56 I will find out. And yes I have. 👌
@@Mr_b_yorkshire_farmer
Cheers Richard. I love that Skippy of yours. The NCB Atkinson Borderer was and still is my all time favourite restored lorries.
@@TheChrysler56 I saved that from Scrap Gary
What's the air filter doing in the cab?
Most vehicles of the same age all have the air filter in the cab, mainly for the clean dry air.
How much it could be worth if sell it?
Those old Gardner's sound just like a maxidyne to me... just saying
What sort of engine this old girl got in her, sound Beautiful
It has a Gardner 150 engine.
Gardner 6lx 150.
Why dont they restore the inside of the cab?
The owner used them for period films. So it gives more or a realistic look.
Air cleaner in cab what we're thay thinking 🤦♂️ to lazy to plum it outside
I drove a guy invincible 180 Cummins in it great old lorry terrible brakes in early 60 s
Know you'd done a days work after chucking on a 10 ton load, roped and sheeted in the rain, then driven 300 miles.
