- Land Rover 110 Fire Tender
- Extensive history
- Rover V8 engine
The Land Rover Defender is one of the most versatile vehicles ever produced, and this 110 Defender Fire Tender is no exception to that. The Defender on the 90, 110 and 130 length chassis took many forms over its lifetime, including that of an Army Wolf, Ambulance, Fire Engine (in 4x4 and 6x6 format), Police vehicle and Pick-up truck. This 1987 110 Fire Tender has an good history file and was built by Carmichael as a hydrant vehicle for the Sellafield Power Plant in Cumbria. The vehicle was then converted to a CAA approved CAT2 fire engine, by Storm Fire Protection in 1989. Storm used the vehicle to support military parachuting at various UK sites. In 1998, it was then bought by Turweston Aerodrome where is was used for frontline operations until the vehicles retirement from service in 2018. The 3. 5-litre Rover V8 engine is running and driving well, and all the fire equipment including the lights and hoses work as they should. The bodywork is in good condition but the paintwork is a little tired, and could be kept as is for a more rustic look or resprayed if desired. A mechanically well maintained example as you would expect, however having been off the road for a couple of years will require some recommissioning prior to seeing active use once more. A rare vehicle which is also USA importable.
This car is to be auctioned at MPH, Bicester Heritage, Buckingham Road, Bicester.
