Guy Arabs with underfloor
engines were delivered to China Motor Bus between 1954 and 1961. They
featured
front and rear folding doors and could seat 43 passengers with 23
standees.
Two conductors were employed to operate the manually operated doors and
collect fares. Additional radiators, as fitted to this model, from
scrapped
Tilling-Stevens buses were fitted to most of the UFs in the late
1960's.
With the introduction of one-man-operation in the early 1970's, the
buses
were well suited with their forward entrance. At the same time, the
rear
doors were either locked or panelled over. Sixteen members of this
class
were refurbished between 1970 and 1973 and were renumbered
600-616.
