1 point for the pourpose of this vehicle
1 point for make and model.
(One revealing detail has been removed from the car, when the aim of this vehicle will be found, I'll post the unmodified version)
Looks amphibious. Maybe it's a Baywatch GT ;)
Not amphibious...
Zamboni?
Does the odd bodywork conceal a radar antenna/array?

Zamboni?
Not that...

Nope.
remeber that I took away a detail from the car, and I will post the original picture when the ....type... of vehicle will be found.
for chasing off birds on a airport runway?
Not for birds...
Riff-raff? Is there a gun platform on the front?
You are really close...not a traditional gun...
Water cannon?
:thumbsup:
Well if it has a water cannon they I would guess it is used for crowd or riot control
I think Paul left that logo on the front of the car for a reason...
De-icing (if the water were warm enough), or I suppose, hosing things down so they would freeze over.

Fire engine?
Or is it for washing something?

Fire engine?
That's it, plane and simple...one point is gone!
A little bit harder will be the make and model, but there is a question you should ask...
The only places, where very fast fire engines are used are airports or chemical factories....I suppose it might have been used at an airport?

I looks familiar, but the penny hasn't dropped yet.
Is it based on a rather common SUV?

No mention of that in my source, and it has 4wd for an off-road use as well.
It is a fire truck vehicle. Only the name is missing.

I do not know..but I don't think so.

Forest fires, or fires in oil fields, I'd guess.
The nature of this car is clear, it is a particular fire truck. Now the make and the model is missing. The particularity of this vehicle is that is a sort of dragster, able to reach any kind of place in few time, even off-road.
The question you should ask is a simple one, about the make....
Sorry - I didn't realize non-guess discussion was forbidden. ???
I've been misunderstood..You can follow any lead and I will reply to any question, but in the meantime I'll indicate an easier way.
Now, this vehicle is a fire truck, and it was developed for quick response. It is also a 4wd vehicle. I don't think it will be able to go on the water and my source doesn't mention the donor vehicle, if there is any. All these questions are clever ones, but even if they won't help you, it doesn't mean that I don't want to answer. ;)
...if you'd like, I'll suggest to focus on the make...
Classical fire truck maker?
Y E S !
USAmerican I guess..?
Yes!
REO Speedwagon? :D
:shakehead:
had this fire tender actually been produced or was it only a prototype?
Let's start with American LaFrance...

Just a prototype

Did you blur the logo?
Absolutely not.
Looks like a "3" in sixties style typo... :scratch:
Does the company only built fire fighting related vehicles?
Mack for instance built fire tenders as well...
could it be Oshkosh?

Probably I mislead you...it seems that this company actually do not make fire-trucks but...
...fire fighting equipment?
Yes, and stuff like that.
The logo is what it seems... the initial of the make.
Just a "B"?
Not a B...
maybe an "A" ?
:nod:
Are they still in business today? Under the same name?
Yes.
Avon?
Not Avon..
Ansul Magnum X-2
a book source I guess ;D
That's it!
Well done Arunas, I guess a lot of other ones are ready to be solved now...
...
Cool!
