Manufacturer description

The Dennis 'RS' fire engine became one of Dennis Bros most popular models of all time with over 1,000 of the type being built. This 'RS237' example, dating from 1988 was one of 48 such examples in service with Nottinghamshire Fire Brigade and is based on an example that still survives with a private owner in Humberside.

This model replicates the interesting 'personalised number plate' F999 HVO and details include the fire brigade's crest on the side doors and its number 313 printed between the cab windows. Lots of chromework against the bright red body bright and the multi-coloured printwork add even more realism to this model.
