Wanted Acco 1710 fire engine

Hi All,

Looking to buy an ACCO 1710 ex NSW Fire Brigades Fire Appliance.
Must be complete or near complete with pump, as im looking to restore it to operational.

Im in southern NSW but will travel.
Will consider other ex NSWFB vehicles (inter 1810's Dennis's, Bedfords and Fords)

We are restoring a J1 Bedford currently
Thanks Heaps

Hi, Thanks for that. Im a bit fussy and really only chasing an ex NSWFB type one with the Alexander Perrie Bodies. I think that ebay one is ex Victoria (?)
I cant work out how to post a photo of one so here is a link

Ask the fire brigade when they are going to auction

There are no more in the hands of the Fire Brigade, the last ones going to auction nearly 12 months ago now. All are now in the hands the public, I have even tried places like cowra truck wreckers, that had heaps of them, all are now gone. Best shot is some farmer having one laying about, or other collectors. There are heaps about, its just being able to find them.

G'day Dave,
They all look big and red to me, but take a look at these Ebay items

or

170528917220 ( I think this one was built in Vic)

There is a small truck yard in the Tempe area of Sydney seems to always have a fire truck for sale. Cant remember the cross street, but its on the Princes Hwy, LH side city bound.

Dave, here's a link about posting pics - www.hcvc.com.au/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1170808619

The Hunter Valley Classic Commercial Vehicle Club has a couple of members with NSW Accos. Busntruck on here is a member of HVCCVC. He might be able to put you on to those members for leads (assuming you don't already know these guys).
