Fire Engines Photos

Hi Pavel - certainly bears a resemblance to what once may have been a Dennis fire truck! Single headlight, does this mean a 'D' series Jaguar engine? Is there enough left of the mechanicals to restore it? Regards - Lou

This looks like Pavels other picture 1989 of a simular appliance, a 1959 F28 fully restored. Really good photograph.
Its well worth checking out.Pete.

Pete and others, try picture 1986 and picture 1987, I don't think there is a 1989, well at least it didn't work for me. Thanks for those complimentary remarks Pete, I wont be able to get my hat on my head!! :)

Lou and Jason, Chief John McMahon seems to think it's about a 1958 F28 Dennis with Rolls Royce straight 6 petrol motor and 750 GPM pump. Unfortunately it may have to get the chop as would take a lot of funding to fully restore, especially with motor and pump missing. It's interesting to see what appears to be the bell hanger above the nearside cabin roof, I believe the siren would have been fitted here when the bells were removed. The Chief and I looked over her today and you know, all the doors on the old girl still open and close after been out in the elements all those years, , , ,

Hi Pavel - Are the hubcaps still on the fire truck? I wouldn't mind getting down on these if they are available, as mine are missing off the F34. I guess the hubcaps are all probably the same. I would need the spacer/mounting studs as well (guess if I don't ask I'll never know!) Cheers - Lou

Hi Lou, guys,
Great to see all that commitment on 'old timers'.
If you want to make arrangements or enquiries on availability, sales etcetera. why not email each other directly?
