Bodied by Carmichaels fitted with a Vista Vue cab, operated out of Beverley, Pocklington, Bridlington with Cumbrian Fire Brigade. Registered in 1967. Not on DVLA site.

Here in Tayside we had the Albion's with the same bodywork with Vista Vue cabs from the 1960, s until 1971 but with jack knife doors with only the front and top of the cab red. I remember them well.

This cab and body by Carmichael was installed on a very wide range of chassis, including Albion, Beford, Commer, Karrier and Ford. Apart from badges, they all looked identical.
