This appliance was number two of a batch of ten ordered for Strathclyde Fire Brigade from Angloco, Bately, West Yorkshire.
First registered in 1989 the serving history of the vehicle was as follows:
1995 – 1999 Reserved Fleet
1999 – 2004 Port Glasgow
In 2004 the vehicle was sold to the Preserved Military Fire Service at auction and remained there for nearly five years.
In 2009 it was purchased privately. At the time of purchase in 2009 there were only 47,000 miles on the clock.
Work to restore the vehicle has been predominately cosmetic, and the appliance is fully equipped as in service.
In 2020 the vehicle interior was updated with front and rear seating refurbished and replacement of all six wheels with new tyres.
