About

Custodians of British Industrial Heritage

Frontline Heritage Group is a Coventry-based company established to acquire and preserve dormant British commercial vehicle trademarks with genuine heritage value. Our portfolio spans three Class 12 (vehicles) registrations — Maudslay, Commer and Guy Motors.

All three names ceased production under corporate consolidation during the 1960s–1980s. Each retains strong public recognition, particularly in the context of British transport history, classic vehicle preservation, and the resurgence of interest in heritage industrial brands.

We welcome approaches from manufacturers, EV transition projects, licensing partners, collectors' organisations and media producers who recognise the enduring value of these names.
