Not sure wether Leyland Badge is added bling or factory. The Leyland Diesel was an option I think. Which means this is an S. ![[Image: 2022-11-2411.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3808/2022-11-2411.jpg) -- Last edit: 2022-11-24 20:16:24 |

Fire engine ? alongside looks interesting but this is all we see. -- Last edit: 2022-11-24 20:15:49 |

The Leyland engine was offered but when the Bedford 8-litre diesel got into its stride, it seemed to fade away. |

My first thought on looking at the fire engine was Holland Coachcraft, but I think that fire engines were probably out of their interest as being too specialised. |

Dennis Big Four?This is an enclosed pump, introduced by the London Fire Brigade in 1935. I have found examples with both Dennis and Albion chassis, maybe this was later stripped of its pump and associated mechanicals and used as a van. -- Last edit: 2022-11-25 16:50:12 |

So, S-type? /vehicle_691710-Bedford-S-Type-1955.html |

Yes S-type. The "Leyland Diesel Engine" badge (here on an Comet LAD cab) is not something I would expect to be normally used on Vauxhall/Bedford S-types even with the Leyland O.350 Oil engine from the Super Comet. The added 'portholes' point to someone adding the badge as well I think. ![[Image: leylanddiesel.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/leylanddiesel.jpg) Another S-type with a similar badge on the opposite side. Arlington Motors started converting S-types in 1952 and Vauxhall/Bedford added the option later (when I cannot determine). -- Last edit: 2022-11-28 19:42:00 |

Think you are right the Bedford has been blinged up a bit maybe by the driver. The 'fire engine' is very strange having a window which appears original to design and a full height door at the rear of the machine. Could it be a flashy horsebox with side ramps? Older ones tended to have grooms quarters ar rear. -- Last edit: 2022-11-29 06:32:28 |
