Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a highly original and complete vintage fire tender, a Land Rover special version, with approximately 21,000 miles (unconfirmed due to a broken speedometer). While it runs and drives, the PTO driven pump and water pump are non-functional, making it more suited for show or film work than firefighting.
Condition
6
The vehicle is described as highly original and complete, and in sound order, suggesting it has been well-preserved. However, the non-functioning PTO driven pump and the stopped speedometer, along with the water pump being seized, indicate mechanical issues that need addressing. The cosmetic condition is likely good, as it is mentioned to have spent most of its life under cover.

Description Highly original and complete fire tender; PTO driven pump (non functioning); running and driving This fascinating period-piece comes to us with no history, so we can only take it on face value.
The speedo has stopped working so we can't confirm if the registered 21,000 miles is correct, but it is a fire engine so it has spent most of nearly 70 years sitting around doing nothing.
We are advised that the water pump is seized, but I guess its days of putting out fires is over and its appeal lies more on the show circuit or in film work.
In sound order, it must have spent most of its life under cover and has been running and driving around onsite since arrival.
If you are into your early Landy's, this straight and original special version has lots of appeal and is on offer at No Reserve so the best bid on the day takes it home.
