If the 58 date is correct (plate info??), it would be S2 as entered, but I think it has thicker sills similar to S2a (1961+). So specifically modified, not just new paint and some ladders.
Lateef ◊ 2019-09-16 18:48	It just looks very odd to me to have it listed as "trucks, fire truck", when it's essentially an offroader with some firefighting stuff thrown on it. Fire engine, sure, fire truck, no. FYI, I entered 58 as first possible year on account of it being an S2. -- Last edit: 2019-09-16 18:53:44
