Very early 1950s LR pump. Note the odd pump position, which was determined by the location of the factory optional PTO back then.

It has a first aid reel, but the water tank must have been very small, given the available space and payload constraints.

It was not long before fire engine builders started installing the Coventy Climax 500 IGPM pump between the front mudguards driven by a crankshaft PTO, which was a much better solution!

This Series 1 Land Rover is one of only 47 built as a fire tender for the Ministry of Supply; this was prior to the outsourcing of such conversions, built in-house at the Solihull factory.
