MAY BANK HOLIDAY BROOKLANDS EMERGENCY 999 DAY.
On May Day
Terry Prince took his preserved Shelvoke SPV to Brooklands Emergency
999 Day. It looks lovely on a bright Spring Day. A credit to Terry and
Chris Shelly Houghton.
FOR SALE ON EBAY.
This
1976 Shelvoke/Carmichael SPV Water Tender type B was advertised for
sale on Ebay. The early SPV Fire Appliance has bodywork by Benson (A
Carmichael subsidiary.) Powered by a Cummins V-504-B 8 cylinder diesel
engine the Godiva pump delivers 1000 gallons per minute. The
vehicle has been dry stored for the last 4 years in a barn, and has a
genuine 21,000 miles.
I continue to be amazed at how these old vehicles continue to turn up.
