Produced from 1935 to 1939, Ahrens-Fox BT models were powered by a company-built, 1,140-cu.in. six-cylinder engine, and were capable of delivering 1,250 gallons of water per minute at 120 PSI. That made the BT models more powerful than the later (and far more common) HT models, which used a 935-cu.in. Hercules six-cylinder engine and delivered 1,000 gallons of water per minute. While Ahrens-Fox produced 65 HT models during the truck’s production run, only eight or nine BT models were ever constructed, of which six survive today. Registration number 4107, delivered new  Dec. 11, 1936. Formerly in service with the Mount Vernon, New York Fire Department, it is possibly “the finest example remaining. The Truck retains its original “Big Bertha” six-cylinder engine and front-mounted, six-cylinder piston pump. The truck received a thorough restoration by Ahrens- Fox  authority Andy Swift. No expense was spared making this one of the most beautiful and impressive Ahrens- Fox's to exist. This truck is ready for show or be the centerpiece of any muster or collection.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        more photos>>   1950 Jaguar Mark V 3.5 Litre Drophead  At the 1949 London Motor Show the buzz was all about the radical Jaguar XK120 sports car. However, sharing the stand with that remarkable icon was Jaguar MK V. A delightful post-war offering with holdover pre-war styling plus some up dated mechanicals ,such as independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes.   It was promoted in this country as “the first British-made luxury car to offer conventional left hand drive”. Capable of over 90 miles per hour and delivering up to 18 miles per gallon, it was highly sought after especially the drop-head, or convertible model.   The Mark V drop head offered here carries with it records from it’s original purchase in Paris in 1949 by David Scott who was working on the Marshall Plan and arranged his acquisition with Sir Francis Lyons (the founder of Jaguar) himself.   After being donated and on display in a museum in this country for many years it was purchased for the third time. The third owner had the car fully restored and sorted.  New Firestone whitewalls were added in April, 2013 for safe touring.  A very rare, extremely well documented and desirable Jaguar.  A true blue chip investment!               Pages   << Previous Cars 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10 More Cars >>
