The Appeal

Ford’s pre-war V8 Pick-Up was the definition of versatility. As this remarkable fire truck proves. It began life as a 221CI V8 Pick Up before being carefully transformed into the vehicle you see now - a beautiful city fire truck.

It is unlikely you’ll see another quite like it. Door decals indicate it worked in and around Hertogenbosch , although with a reported mere 10,319kms on the clock it was clearly sparingly used. It is complete and highly detailed and in preserved overall condition.

This is one for the collector. With its Dutch registration and technical inspection, this Ford 85 Fire Truck is ready for its new registered keeper.
