Hello forum. Glad you exist. I own a Morris Mini based Firefly fire truck produced by Angus Fire Armour in 1964. The Hathaway fire pump is powered by a Villiers MK15/2 engine. I have just posted a carb issue in another part of this forum. Not sure how to post photos but once I figure it out I will do so. Here is a link to a photo album of the vehicle:

Welcome sir

A guide to uploading photos can be found here

Hi and a warm welcome to the forum. Look forward to seeing some pictures of the Villiers - lovely little engines.

Welcome aboard, looking forward to a photo of the Morris Mini as another of my hobbies is emergency vehicle photography.

Couldn't find a Mini appliance so here's a Morris Minor instead



This is only Mini I've seen recently, but not an appliance, looks nice though.

I’ve seen a Morris Minor based fire appliance like the one above at the British Heritage Motor Museum in Gaydon. Looks like the one above. The MINI photo is new to me, much appreciated. As far as I know our truck was the only one built other than the prototype.

Hello and welcome from a fellow Villiers owner!

The Mini sounds like an interesting project.

The Villiers engine is connected to a Hathaway MK IV pump. Info about the pumps are hard to find. I have no info on it.

I'm a member of a (UK) fire service history group, do you mind if I put up some of your pics?, may get some info from them.

Please do Stuart. Still looking for a photo of our truck in service. Spent 33 years at the Bexley hospital in Kent.

Only photo that has been posted so far, no info on location so someone may have googled it and found one of yours? and no info on the pump yet.

Thanks Stuart. That is my truck. The pump is a Hathaway MK IV.
