Converted from a seven-passenger touring car and fitted with a Merryweather steam pump off a horse-drawn apparatus. Perhaps call it a 1907 Custom Made Fire Engine based on Gobron-Brillié 7-Passenger Touring Car? -- Last edit: 2015-02-13 00:14:17 |

AA 608 = RED 1954  GOBRON-BRILLIE UNKNOWN FIRE ENGINE. AA plates issued Dec 1903 to Oct 1917 so 1907 date looks correcthttp://flickrhivemind.net/Tags/fireengine,nationalmotormuseum/Interesting , https://www.flickr.com/photos/61375309@N06/6169432369 Difficult to identify best phrasing for ID. I think it's worth having Gobron-Brillié as make, so entered with "7-Passenger Touring Car" and converted into fire-engine as extra info, but classed as fire engine. That should give best chance for retrieval/cross-referencing etc. I assume it was not converted by G-B - maybe the 1954 plate info date suggests when it was done?? "This vehicle has had a long and varied life. It was originally a seven-seater touring car, running on pneumatic tyres. Later it was converted into an estate fire engine and fitted with a Merryweather steam fire pump from an old horse-drawn fire engine. Both boiler and engine are in working order and regularly operated at rallies. It has an opposed piston engine: 4 cylinders – 8 pistons!" from Link to "www.beaulieu.co.uk" |
