Dennis Specialist Vehicles was an English manufacturer of commercial vehicles based in Guildford, building buses, fire engines, lorries and municipal vehicles such as dustcarts. All vehicles were made to order to the customer's requirements and were more strongly built than mass-production equivalents. For most of the twentieth century the Dennis company was Guildford's main employer. Founded by John and Raymond Dennis, it suffered a decade of financial difficulties, its original shareholders sold out in 1972, and the business later became part of TransBus International. It built the Dennis Dart bus.
