Saxon designed and fabricated this spacious full tilt crew cab.

These were rather unusual, as most fire appliance builders who used the FL chassis kept the standard factory truck cab with a separate coach built fixed crew cab section behind it.

The most numerous examples of this "split tilt" approach were the scores of pumps which were supplied to London, although of course many other brigades also bought Volvos at the same time.

By the way the body on this is by JDC. Saxon just did the cab as Rob describes.

When I was in The Gambia in 2018 most of the fire trucks were donated from the Avon Fire & Rescue.
