The Appeal
Land Rovers are undoubtedly one of the most versatile vehicles out there, due to their simple mechanics and body structure, availability of parts worldwide, and of course their ability to cross virtually any terrain with ease.
Here we have one such Stage One that was originally supplied in 1981 and converted to a Fire Appliance in 1985 by VF Specialist Vehicles of Batley, West Yorkshire, and was done so to conform with the particular specification set out by the Civil Aviation Authority.
Here we have one such Stage One that was originally supplied in 1981 and converted to a Fire Appliance in 1985 by VF Specialist Vehicles of Batley, West Yorkshire, and was done so to conform with the particular specification set out by the Civil Aviation Authority.
It's a unique vehicle that is still fully operational and by simply by being a Land Rover will have wide appeal.
The History and Paperwork
- Supplied new in 1981
- Initially sold to Thruxton Airfield where it was used ‘in action’ until 2003
- It was then sold to Tatenhill Aviation Ltd at Needwood in Burton-on-Trent where it was used as the Airfield Fire Appliance until 2005
- It was then used regularly, providing Motorsport Fire Cover and also for TV and film sets until it was purchased by the current owner in 2013 and has been used in Northern Ireland for dry riser testing and as fire safety cover for various events throughout the region
- Mainly used in the summer months and dry stored over the winter
- Very light usage – generally a couple of events per month
- MOT and Tax exempt
- V5c present
- The clock was replaced by the current owner and doesn’t currently work so the mileage is unknown
- 1 set of keys
- Spare wheel
The Interior
- Vinyl seats appear in fair condition and the cabin is functional rather than made for comfort
- Dashboard appears free from any damage
- Windscreen free from any cracks
- All switchgear conveniently located for driver
- All gauges and electrics work as they should
- Side lockers fitted on both sides with sliding aluminium shutters for equipment storage
- One large shutter to the rear with sliding aluminium shutter for quick access to fire equipment
The Exterior
- Originally yellow, it was repainted in red and given Battenburg markings in 2012
- Overall, the bodywork appears solid and presents very well
- A few paint chips, rust bubble spots and scratches can be found around the vehicle as is evident from the photographs
- One blue beacon and one yellow recognition beacon fitted with two-tone horns
- GRP tank fitted with capacity for 50 gallons of water and three gallons of foam additive, which can be delivered through the Godiva PTO pump at a rate of 300gpm
- Godiva GPL 669/2 pump complete with water ring primer
- Wheels all present well and are shod with brand new tyres including the spare
- Lights all work and are free from any cracks or damage
The Mechanics
- Rover high-compression 3.5 litre V8 engine
- Chassis reconditioned to one-tonne heavy duty type
- 4-speed manual gearbox
- Leaf spring suspension
- Radiator rebuilt in 2017
- Last serviced one year ago
- Transfer box with high/low ratio and power take-off for pump fitted
- Vendor advises that the vehicle starts first time and idles nicely
- Clutch works well but as it hasn’t been used all winter, its advised that the new owner gives it a thorough checking over to assure road worthiness
The Summary
Although the mileage is unverifiable, it’s unlikely such a vehicle would be travelling great distances. As is clear from its history, its spent most of its life stationed at various locations where it has stayed for fairly long periods.
It’s a fantastically unique and fully functional Fire Appliance that would appeal to a small airfield, race track, or any number of outdoor summer event locations, but would equally would look fantastic as part of a larger Land Rover collection.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
