This fabulous Land Rover was commissioned to the Eastleigh "British Rail" Works Fire Brigade and formed party of the safety team at the Railway depot from 1968 until 2003. When fire engines are de-commissioned they generally lose all of their unique items, hoses, lights, pumps etc. However, this great example retains all of its features, open the various cubby boxes and you will find a great assortment of nozzles, hoses and axes. There is even a good selection of fire extinguishers strapped on in various places. It is thought at the point of de-commissioning one of the firemen was retiring and it was given to him as a ‘retirement gift’. It has been used for local shows and parades, always creating significant interest wherever it appears. The petrol engine runs really well and she drives really well. The Coventry Climax engine that powers the water pumps is functioning as it should. Complete with all the instruction manuals, working blue lights, ladder, firemans helmets and one of the loudest sirens you are ever likely to hear, this Series IIA Land Rover is a superb way to stand out from the crowd!
