Initially built for supply to Singapore, the Pearl Harbour attack and subsequent invasion meant this truck was diverted from the US to Australia
Serving its life in Brisbane, it was decommissioned in the 1980s, before being restored to show-winning condition by an avid collector
Part of an eclectic collection of 17 fire appliances, all in show condition, it was purchased by a UK buyer, shipped to the UK and converted to use as a party truck
Well equipped with catering equipment including a microwave, crockery and more, it's been used for children's parties, lunch at Goodwood, charity events and shows
Whilst not fast, it can be driven, is MOT exempt and its global history should ensure that this wonderful truck continues to delight for many a year yet
