Curious-this appears to be a 4x4 but the hoes reel is at the back?

I understand that the later batches of Green Goddess's were 4x4. Also as the bodies were built by a number of different companies the hose reel was in various positions.
There is another post (picture 33848) of one painted red, with the hose reel at the rear.

All of the Green Goddess's supplied to NZ in 1976 were 4x4 and all have the hose reels in this location.

I did hear one or more of the antipodean brigades did do a conversion on ex HO S types. Then again I think someone said they were done as a special. Both could be the case. As for this one????!

VASS converted a number of 4x2 to 4x4 for export- note it is deviod of the 2 steps below the front bumper and the grab handles each side of the bonnet . I found a VASS picture of one of them and it still had its original NYV 382 reg number photographed just before going to the docks prior to shipment to N Zealand
