Tri Axle Defender Fire Tender

Was in my local dealer in Ayr inspecting my new 90 HT as it came off the transporter and spotted this

brand new Defender Fire Tender destined for Oban Airport

Surely one of the last Special builds to be supplied throughl the dealer network?

In fact built by a local company not JLR

Given the extent of the modifications, a 2 year build is possible.

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

Seems to me to be a very odd choice of base vehicle for that build, and I would have thought that many more suitable platforms than the Defender were available. I wonder why it was chosen.

I hope that the finished product's performance is as impressive as its appearance.

There are details and pics posted elsewhere on here about it. I saw is about 12-18 months ago at an LR indy - they were trying to get it driveable. At the time they had something like 150kg weight on the front bumper to keep the nose down - and it still would not turn corners.

The water tank it right at the very back ... behind the rear axles, so as soon as they fill it with water the nose lifts!!

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Corris Grey

I bet that has a worse turning circle and is harder to park than a Jumbo
