1964 P Austin FFK110/Den Hartog.

This somewhat unusual vehicle which I photographed I think in 1988 is a 1964 Austin for the Hendrik-ido-Ambacht Fire Brigade in Holland.The chassis was exported to Holland and body built by a Dutch firm for service in Hendrik-ido-Ambacht where it served all its operational life with this brigade.It finally went out of service in 1986.It was purchased direct from the brigade for preservation in the UK(re-reg.KPK 382C)by Phil Beattie of Godalming in Surrey,England.
Maybe Marcel,or one of our other friends from Holland might like to add further information and comments please to this picture.Thanks,Pete.

Pete - you have captured another beauty here.

Those Netherlands and Belgium builders have turned out really attractive rigs over the years; I always look forward to the latest Pics here, of so many, safely in preservation.

And, this one is a neatly done Front-Mount Pump, too !

This Vehicle was owned by members of Godalming fire station who had close with Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht , it was in the UK for about 10 years before being returned to its home station in Holland, where it has had further restoration work undertaken.

Sorry Pete,
I missed this one, so my comment comes in a bit late. Build by Bikkers (Rotterdam) with a Reichert pump. The model is an Austin KBF100 and delivers 2000lpm and the high pressure pump 230 lpm.
