To my eyes, these older London Ategos do look a whole lot more attractive than the recent replacement deliveries, with their boxy crew cabs. I wonder if their crews appreciate the much touted "benefits" of the new design?
Ed; Mark 2 bodies as here used Plastisol components. The Mark 3 bodies are by Emergency One and I am not sure how many prefabricated components they use.
Plastisol BV started producing this style of cab in the Netherlands - and is was quickly adopted on Atego chassis by many fire brigades in a lot of European countries, as well as several in the UK.
I am not sure if this design is still being offered, as the firm went bankrupt in 2015, and I can't find out much about any continuing operations.
In its day, the cab came in two lengths and two heights, with seating for five, six, seven, eight or nine depending on the customer's requirements.
