In 1942, Guy launched a modified version with wartime constraints requiring components previously made of aluminium to be made from cast iron, increasing its weight by 20%. Over 2,700 were built during the war years.[3]

After the war, a single deck version was introduced, while the pre-war double deck version was reintroduced.[4] It remained in production until the 1970s.[5][6]

The West Riding Automobile Company of Wakefield had a large number of Guy Arabs and one, KHL855, is preserved at the Dewsbury Bus Museum and has been restored to "as delivered" condition.
