Ive been offered the chance to buy this, just wondered if anyone knows anything about it. Its a Tony Brandle 1976 fire rescue unit. It has an international v8 engine with lpg conversion, the rear diff is knackered so only fwd at the mo.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

If you're into fire engines, maybe a bit, if you're not, scrap value, personally I can't see the need nor want for restoring that.

It's Swiss, so parts may be an issue - any idea where the diff comes from? That might be a bit of a sticking point.
