The dealer retained the original registration and re-registered the vehicle with the registration it carries today. After 11 years with Marshalls Transport, it was given back to the Fire Brigade in 1984 but stood neglected for a long period of time. It was purchased by the current owner in 1989 who has restored it from very poor condition and returned it to full roadworthiness in 2004.Entered by Mr. T. Spalding of Mansfield.
