Alex, Barry,
The Dutch coach-built C8A-based fire engines first came up in Wheels & Tracks magazine. It turns out several have survived in this form, see
http://www.historical-fire-engines.c...915.search.htm for an example.
See
CMPs for sale in Holland for another (better) one for sale.
Also see
Dutch CMPs for other HUP fire engines in a more standard configuration.
HTH,
Hanno
