vilero ◊ 2010-11-19 11:38	After some research about Madrid fire department, I've read that in 1924 Madrid bought 4 fire trucks to Benz. After spanish civil war 36-39 and WWII, spanish frontiers were almost closed to buy something new in foreigner countries, so I'm thinking that these vehicles could be 'on the road' for a long time. Extra pictures show this vehicle numbered as B(omberos) 2. For these reasons I'm thinking if it could be one of those 4 first Benz I said above and, specifically, a Benz-Gaggenau. Opinions? -- Last edit: 2010-11-19 12:39:24
