(PICS) Relatively rare '50s era Dennis F8 fire truck from 'Original Classics'
This detailed diecast 1/18 British fire truck model was produced about a decade ago and has become difficult to find now-a-days.
It's a heavy model with poseable steering as well as opening doors and appliance/hose cabinets, etc.
These may not have been the prettiest fire vehicles, but they were the ubiquetous British fire pumper in the early post-war period, giving them lots of nostalgia.
