Hi there

Straight from the book of knowledge.

The vehicle serial number will be found on the transferr box instruction plate on the dash panel over the gearbox cover. It is the same number as the chassis number which is stamped on the right hand front spring shackle braket.

Can you post some pictures as I am keen to have a look if its was/could have been a fire engine.

All the best

I will when adobe sorts it self out so i can shrink the photos down

I think it was Rural Fire Service in NSW if it was anything

[boxhead]

ok so i went out into the rain and the plate isnt there on the bulkhead the rivets are but not the plate

But i got the gearbox no. 111703204

this chassis number is 1955.the chassis number should be on the left rear spring hanger of both vehicles.:D

hi there

The chassis no 5776 - makes it a 1955 107.

Now according to the alot of Land Rover books land rover never made a LWB Fire Engine - some thing I dispute (along with a few others)

I will do some research as I have alot of information on Land Rover Fire Engines in Australia. I need to get some additional pictures of your 107 - some detailed ones of the bonet and the roof and rear tray area. Was there any information of what NSW brigae it used to belong to?

If you have alook at my link below there is some pictures of mine - I own a 109 1958 Land Rover Fire Engine.

I know its a link to a new series one site - where I have a progress rebuild of my truck

the g/box number is 1957 and the vehicle in the photo i would say is ex bush fire brigade as it appears to have the remains of the marking on the door.

[master chief]

G,day ellard,did you see that 107 on ebay a few months ago at pitt town n.s.w.it was ex fire brigade and still had the water tank in the back?.:D

Were all these types 107 inch , maybe my new tray series1 is a 107 too, the back on mine aint original, did these come out in tray back?, nice little buggy by the way, I have the series 1 bug big time, are the series 1 brakes hydraulic or mechanical or combination of both

There were 107" and 109" series 1,s,i dont think the factory ever made a t/t they were all utes,some vehicles did leave the factory without any tub so that special bodies could be fitted,they are hydraulic.the handbrake is mechanical.:)

and there were also 107" station wagons.

Well i live in Londonderry NSW and ihave all of my life i would love to build a copy of the Landrover imortalised by Matchbox for the londonderry RFS i have heard it from a few people in the brigade that the actual vehicle was a lond wheel base ex military but i read today that the aus army never had series 1 so who knows one day i will approach the shed to find out moreinfo

i think the captain is a LR owner any way

I,m not sure what the actual vehicle was but the model is an 80" isnt it?.i think the captain has a firefly 2 or 2a.there were a few series 1 in the army but very few and most seemed to be for trial.

[ellard]

Hi there

I have done a fair bit of research and I honestly believe the Londonderry fire engine only exsisted within the Matchbox Range of toys.

The only one which I have seen wich comes close is one I know of which used to be in QLD - but its missing most of the firefighting equipment.

All the best

The last time I spoke to the gentleman it had been sold and was awaiting to be picked up.

He also had 2 x Series IIa Fire Tenders (Army).

All the best

PS I tried contacting the Londonderry brigade but they seemed very vague about the unit as well. If you have any sucess would love to hear your findings.

If you measure between the wheel centres you'll either get 107" or 109". We just bought one that we were told was 109", but after measuring and checking the chassis number, is actually 107"

do you know if the spare guards in the photos went as well?

[ellard]

Hi there

I have had these pictures for about 3 years - I have no idea.

But I have a few guards but live in SA - just to far away for a flimbsy alloy guard to be sent through via transport

All the best

I will have to apologise to Wayne as I deleted :twisted: all the forums on that site - it was only ever set up as a trial and Wayne :mad: a bit naughty for advertising it outside a particular group.
