Andrew:
Do you know when this was delivered?
I ask because the 809 designation describes an 8 ton GVW chassis with a 90 BHP engine. This was not one of the SVO fire appliance chassis offered by Ford; these were all 10, 11, 13 or 16 tons, with either 140 BHP turbo six cylinder Ford or 170 BHP Perkins V8 engines. The V8 was the same engine as used by Dennis, Dodge, ERF and S&D at the time.
There was noting to stop a brigade building an appliance on an 809 chassis. But it would have had virtually zero payload and would have struggled mightily with its feeble four cylinder engine, which was designed for a small local delivery truck...
