Carmichael airport fire engine chassis

Not Carmichael but it is a vehicle on airport service

Saval?
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: woodinsight on March 29, 2011, 10:20:22 AM
Neither Douglas Protector II or Duval
Title: Re: MJW #339

Duval? Where did I mention a Belgian rally driver?

Apologies for that, I was rushing out the door just as I posted the reply.
However it is not Saval.
Perhaps the best way to proceed is to establish the country this vehicle comes from.

Not a Meteor and I can't tell you whether a bird cannon is included in it's equipment.

A couple of clues - Carmichael supplied the bodywork and equipment for this vehicle.
The manufacturer is well-known in a specific sector of the commercial vehicle market (nothing to do with airport vehicles)

It's not Timoney?
Title: Re: MJW #339

Not Timoney....
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: DeAutogids on March 30, 2011, 05:14:56 AM
You talked about country.
I can deduct that it is not from Ireland.
You say body is from Carmichael. Therefore, I assume it is part of the British Commonwealth?
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: woodinsight on March 30, 2011, 05:50:44 AM
The British Commonwealth would not exist without this country  ;)
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: DeAutogids on March 30, 2011, 05:57:07 AM
So it's Britain then?
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: woodinsight on March 30, 2011, 06:35:36 AM
The UK it is

Unipower?
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: woodinsight on April 05, 2011, 03:16:47 PM
Apologies I missed your reply - not Unipower.
A clue - this manufacturer is/was very well known for vehicles with small wheels.....
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: DeAutogids on April 05, 2011, 03:29:16 PM
Electric vehicles?
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: woodinsight on April 05, 2011, 03:34:53 PM
Not electric as far as I know - I believe they were all petrol or diesel engined
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: guido66 on April 05, 2011, 04:11:02 PM
From a lawn-mower manufacturer?
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: woodinsight on April 05, 2011, 04:20:12 PM
Nothing to do with lawn mowers.
These were full size commercial vehicles albeit with very small wheels (usually) and normally employed in a specific street service.

That's the beast!
Can you also provide me with a model name?
Locked for you.....
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: neilshouse on April 08, 2011, 11:47:32 AM
Is it called the SPV? (Special Purpose Vehicle).
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: woodinsight on April 08, 2011, 11:55:28 AM
That is part of the model name.
It is the Shelvoke & Drewry SPV Pxxxxxxer
Still locked for you to complete it.
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: neilshouse on April 08, 2011, 12:52:46 PM
Bit stuck on this one, there is an SD Carmichael Jetranger, so my best guess is Shelvoke & Drewry SPV Paceranger.
If it's not correct please unlock.

Thank you, it must be a Patroller. If it's not I'm giving up!
Title: Re: MJW #339
Post by: woodinsight on April 08, 2011, 01:51:25 PM
Shelvoke & Drewry SPV Patroller it is!
It was only fair to give you a chance as you were almost there anyway.
Well done.

Having lived in the same town as Shelvoke & Drewry for a very long time (even in the residential part of the same road!) I should have known it. They used to bring their latest product to have its photo taken by the photographer that lived 10 doors from me, but this might have been a bit big for that!

Thanks for that Allan_L

Just to reiterate for a moment, when I gave the clue that many of their models had very small wheels, the following photo shows what I meant.
