Campo de Besteiros VLCI 06

History

Alf van Beem photographed unit 1832 VLCI 06 in Portugal on 14 June 2011. The visible side markings identify BVVB and Campo de Besteiros; a Carmichael plate appears beside the rear pump. The reference shows an open equipment bed with checkerplate footboards, a pump-control panel, twin hose reels, suction pipes and an overhead ladder.

The production year and total number of this conversion are not established by the photograph. It carries a V8 badge, but this alone is not sufficient to identify its current engine specification.
