Here you are Andrew - in response to your comment in picture 33366 one of the nine F3's built - registered in the Birmingham Area it was new to Cadburys Chocolate in Bournville (a suburb of that city. As can be seen it has the old style headlights /wheelarches and a no 6 on the bonnet denoting a 6 cylinder engine.

This appliance is in the care of WAFERS in Skewen near Swansea and was photographed in their store shed- alongside is the Glamorgan F15 water tender !

I am about to start restoration of an F3 that was delivered to the West Australian Fire Brigades Board in 1942. To the best of my knowledge there are only 2 of them still in existence; being the ex Cadbury Chocolate one and mine. Would you have a contact for someone at WAFERS who may be able to assist my restoration. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
