Land Rover Series IIA Forward Control Fire Engine.

The Series IIA Forward Control launched in 1962 was based on the Series IIA with a 2.25-litre petrol engine and 109 in chassis. The cab was positioned over the engine to give more load space. Export vehicles were the first Land Rovers to get the 2.6-litre petrol engine. Most examples had a heavy duty rear axle, a matching front axle came later. Tyres were large on deep-dish wheel rims to spread the ground weight of this heavy vehicle. They were somewhat underpowered for the increased load capacity and most had a hard working life. Less than 2,500 were made, and most had a utility body, but surviving examples often have custom bodywork. With an upgraded powertrain, they can be used as a small motorhome.
