Yesteryear Collection

Rural fire brigades in South Africa and Australia adapted this tough little British four wheel drive vehicle into a wide variety of fire fighting units. It could get through rough terrain to the heart of a shrub fire while its built-in power take off drive could pump water from nearby streams.
