Sellafield Carmichael Hydrant Vehicle

History

Bonhams’ seller description, mirrored on Car & Classic, identifies a 1987 Sellafield hydrant vehicle converted by Storm Fire Protection in 1989. The supplied auction photo shows later airport lettering, number 4, raised warning-light platform, monitor and E887 YLG plates. The model represents that photographed configuration rather than claiming the later equipment was its original Sellafield fit. Rear details are conservative interpretations. Handling is game tuning.
