Ah yes, their 1949 Dennis F6. Chassis No. 3281.

Great find, Miguel; and looks like the Bomberos of Cadiz have beautifully restored their Dennis Pump. Do you have any more photos ?

Do our Dennis fans have an ID ? With the Right-Hand Drive, she must have been built for export.

Whoops - got my Left and my Right muddled up - should have said - built for the Home Market in Britain, and then sold for Export......

Pat,
No, Cadiz was the original customer for this one - it wasn't built for the home market and then exported.

Hijo, I am writing from Cadiz Fire Station, we are looking for information about this F6, could you confirm us that was sold to Cadiz? Year?
Regards

The Cadiz regional fire service seems to have a majority of Mercedes appliances in its twenty fire stations these days, including several Varios and 4X4 Ategos, as well as a few Iveco-Magirus TTLs. These are all yellow and white, which is rather unusual in Spain, where good old fire engine red is still more popular - albeit with Russian style white front doors...

It would be nice if Ignacio could post some photos on this site, while our Dennis historians try to find out more about his appliance.
