JUST A FEW IN OUR COLLECTION

Three of our old fire engines we have.
The AEC ladder truck and the command unit and a Ford tanker we just acquired.
The one covered is a 1942 American Ford v8 and a hose reel to the left and an old radio shack from the war, on the right.
We also have a 1971 Dennis, a 1948 Ford v8, a series 1 Land Rover, a 1956 Marmon harrington airport tender. These are all in useable condition.
We also have an old Fargo waiting restoration.
and also a 1954 Dennis with the RR engine.
Our Museum has a 1860 Merrywether hand pump, horse drawn fire engine that we have restored for them.
Our new pride and joy is the recently aqcuired 1916 Dennis (in pieces). We are now into the restoration process and going well with this, We found another Dennis motor and chassis for parts but we would like any leads for parts to complete the restoration of this fine machine.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for sharing the photo, a shame about the covers though.
Now, can you tell me what museum you are talking about and where it is?

Dunedin NZ. I thought the command unit was at Ferrymead in Christchurch ?
I bet the 48 Ford is the van type body and has been used as a hearse in the past.
My father drove this from South Dunedin in the early 60's

Did you say that Dunedin has an 1860 Merryweather manual engine?
