Manufacturer description

The Dennis F8 belongs to the 1950s when the famous coachbuilder's vehicles dominated the fire emergency scene. Even today, it remains one of only a small number of manufacturers specialising in fire-fighting appliances. This F8 is based on a vehicle from the Essex County Fire Brigade, registered 123 BEV, assigned to Leytonstone. Decorated in the traditional bright red with silver masking and black mudguards and bumpers, the roof is masked black and the lettering along the sides is in silver. Note the Fire Brigade crest on the cab doors too. Additional details include the brown roof ladders with white ends, rear side hoses with brass tips and large side hose reels with matt black hoses. Another small rear cable reel also appears in black.
