Hi

the body it now is a danish conversion to a civil defence fire tender.

Cheers Niels

I just found the Chassis number plate
Vehicle model C60448-M-GS11
Chassis model 0-60448-M

Hi Niels,

Congratulations on your new toy!

It seems this was a C60L GS (General Service), see the attached picture.

Regards,
Hanno

thanks, but was it normal that C60´s where fittede with a winch, because it do not look like it have been retrofitted with it. The winch, front bumper- , rear wire rollers are the same, as on one of my mates CGT.

Default Looks like a good find

Hi Niels

Looks like a good example of the afterlife that CMPs have had, are you going to restore it as Danish Fire Tender? Which make it kind of unique as an example of the long active service life that CMPs had after their war time use.

Looking forward to seeing more photos.

Cheers and Happy Motoring Phil

One is going to be restored, the other use as spares for the fire truck and for a C15TA. I have also found a WW2 Dennis trailer pump to go after the fire truck
