Almost all correct, "auxillary towing vehicle" they were not all Austins. designed to tow large trailer pumps of all types (coventry, dennis, harland,scammel and others). As such with a full crew and equipment they would become a complete fire fighting unit. It woould have been "NFS" national fire service originally. It should of course be grey and strangely if it went onto be with a local authority brigade appears never to have been painted red. good luck with the restoation.

Hi All. Just joined the forum, I have had for many years an Admiralty Fire Service Dennis F8. I am interested in all things fire related. Hope to have a mutual exchange of knowledge on this forum.

Hi I have just joined the forum and noticed your carb. I have a zenith 36UY on my 1933 Dennis fire engine, the engine is a Dennis G type, at the moment the carb is giving me some problems i.ie. stopping under load and then it will start again straight away. Anyhow I believe this carb is to modern for your truck as you may be aware. I know the "claudel hobson" was fitted on some Dennis engines as late as 1930 and then i believe was superceded by the Zenith. If you decide you dont want the Zenith i would be interested in it. Nig
