Dennis Big 6 fire engine help needed

Hello, Kieran Duffy here. I am living in Ireland and would appreciate some information or photos to help with the restoration of a 1933 Dennis Big6 with meadows engine and in particular where I could get parts for a meadows engine. Here is a photograph of the fire engine at present.

Hi Have you seen the pictures Andrew Wright has of this vehicle on this web site. My Dad and I have the York Big Six also on this web site. We think yours was new to Belfast and would say in about 1934 ish. The West Ham Big Six is earlier than ours and yours seems to bear resemblences to both in body style, I would not say yours is not much if any later than 1934 as it has the engine badged by Dennis not Meadows. Any questions Please email back via my email rather than over the web site and I will give you a contact number. Good luck with the restoration hope to keep in touch

Hello Kieran,
I have the West Ham Big Six. As you will have seen from the response above, my friends Rick and Mark have the York Big Six. I am sure that we would all like to see some more pictures of your machine. Would you be able to post some more or perhaps send them directly to me at [email protected]?
Best wishes, Barry.
