The bodybuilder is Branbridge - see picture 27278. It could even be the same appliance though there are slight differences so may be from the same era. There is a Land Rover Branbridge low profile L4P ex Wolverhampton on this site too.

Pyrene had a virtually identical VW at the Commercial Motor Show in 1967. It had a Coventry Climax rear mounted 350 IGPM pump, a 100 IG tank and a single hose reel. The three door cab was very tight indeed!

The pitch was (I quote)that "you can put out 99% of fires with 100 gallons of water". No mention of foam, even though Pyrene was best known for building foam tenders back then...

From what I now know, I think even this skimpy specification must have overloaded the T2's payload capacity.

Suppose the factory crew cab was an attraction for body builders.
