Derelict fire engine - Mt. Isa c1986

I photographed this when I was a teenager in the mid 80's. From memory it was in Mt. Isa, but I could be mistaken. It was in a vacant lot next to a servo.

Can anyone identify it, or even remember it and know what became of it? These are all the pictures I have, sorry. I have been looking for them for ages.

ASW.

Old Dennis from the 1930's.

It is a 1923 Dennis 45 HP model, originally from Sydney.

Not sure how it got to Mt Isa, but somehow the local Lions Club had it and put it in a park as an amusement. It found its way from there to Perth, where it has been fully restored back to its original condition.

I had some correspondence from the current owner 6 or 7 years ago, and he had just got it back to operating condition, and was recreating the bodywork.

All the correspondence seems to have been lost during change of computers, so I can't readily find photos of it.

Thankyou! Not only identified, but the best news I could hope for.

ASW.

The new owner was keen. I remember he said that the chassis rails were twisted and he had to get new ones made up. All the other missing bits on the engine and gearbox were refabricated.

Not a job for the faint hearted.

Almost shows that NOTHING is past saving ... if the bag full of money is big enough!!
