It is a Dennis, I think a model 250 from 1934.



Excerpt from the DVLA:

The vehicle details for WV 6060 are:

Date of First Registration 07 08 1934
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 4150CC

250 refers to the pump capacity 250 gall/min not the model, still to be found, although probably based on a 2-ton truck chassis from 1931.

Yes, also this from a local newspaper in the 1960s

Looks quite different (lower) but only in the newspaper, so beginning to suspect the aspect ratio. Could be a G-type chassis?

The headlamps have changed perhaps to smaller more modern units, but I think adjusting the aspect ratio does not achieve similar radiator or bonnet proportions. Totally confused now. In the TV series looks a different machine, compared to the old newspaper clipping. Nothing to say the engine still exists, not taxed recently but not SORN?

Radiator width is likely to be the same, the black and white image gives a wider impression; when the plain sides are taken into account the size is similar. Smaller headlights change the overall appearance but I think is the only difference.

It appears to be the same chassis as here...

60/70 hp 2-Ton Fire Engine, the only other examples I can find being in Australia.

Some early 1930s Dennis fire engine chassis that were smaller than the G-type were commonly based on the 2-ton commercial truck chassis.
