The American La France Fire Engine Company is one of the oldest
fire apparatus manufacturers with roots that go back to
approximately 1832. The company that went on to become American
La France built hand-drawn. horse-drawn and steam-powered fire
engines. The International Fire Engine Company. corporate
predecessor of American La France. built some steam power fire
engines between 1903 and 1907. Apparatus built by International
included horse drawn steamers. hose wagons and hook and ladders to
chemical engines. water towers and combinations. American La France
delivered its first motorised fire engine in 1907 and over the
years. they built thousands of fire trucks including chemical
engines. combination pumpers. aerial ladder trucks. Aero Chief
snorkel trucks and airport crash trucks.
This American La France was imported in 2013 and whilst not
registered on UK plates. a NOVA certificate is available confirming
all taxes and duties have been paid thus enabling any purchaser to
register the vehicle if required. In need of restoration. we are
advised by the vendor that everything seems present and correct
although it appears to be some decades since this interesting short
chassis. 9½ litre La France has been driven on the road. Our
inspection confirmed this to be quite a sound example. bearing in
mind she is nearly 100 years old. A great winter project that will
result in an historic vehicle eligible for virtually any rally in
the world for example the Peking to Paris rally which has featured
an American La France in all but one race these handsome. robust
vehicles are perfect for long distance endurance events.
