    The Range Rover 6x6 6x4 Oz Fire trucks

    A while back someone said a number of the TACR Range Rover's came here, does anybody know if any survive?

    Hi there

    These is one in WA, single cab with front mouted pump.....the only one I know of and its owned by a private collector.

    Will post pictures later, put them some where safe........

    Ps there was not many in Australia, but a few Defenders 6x6's trialed by other fire services (but not sucessful)..........

    I'm sure I've linked these before - but what the heck


    Used in the mid to late 80s eventually kept failing rego due to not enough braking force on the rears (IIRC)



    Austral Hawk out side JRAs Moorebank site (circa 1985?) these units went to cat 2 airfields operated by Esso (again IIRC)



    SA version - don't have any other info
