This catalogue entry records a 1978 Land Rover 109 HCB Angus 4 wheel drive fire engine in red, a lorry, from the 1970s.

The 1978 Land Rover 109 HCB Angus 4 wheel drive fire engine in red is filed under Classic, Truck / Lorry and Police / Emergency, within the 1970s picture cars.

1970s on screen

Shop lettering, road signs and kerbside furniture should share the story date, particularly when a wide shot includes more of the street than the featured car. Residential streets and commercial centres offer different seventies textures, so a travelling scene benefits from references for both ends of the journey rather than one generic backdrop. Domestic props give a seventies car a reason to be outside a house, whether the action is a return with shopping or the start of a journey.

Possible roles in a production

A lorry can supply delivery-yard activity, with the script defining the goods and handling rather than relying on unspecified cargo to dress the scene. A parked truck can give a workplace exterior scale, but crew access and the position of background performers need planning around the chosen location. For roadside emergency scenes, location arrangements and public-facing details need discussion before any replica vehicle or light treatment is placed in view.

Questions about this car

Can I hire this 1978 Land Rover 109 in red for filming?

We need the dates, filming location and intended use before confirming an option for this Land Rover 109; browsing the entry alone does not reserve a vehicle.

Is the photo of this exact car?

No individual vehicle is promised by the Land Rover 109 photograph; we separately confirm the identity and colour of the actual car when we send the shoot options.

What if this Land Rover 109 isn't available?

For a substitute, consider the 379 cars from the 1970s collection or the 118 Land Rover vehicles selection alongside the 5 Land Rover 109s; the scene guides which options we discuss.

Whether the Land Rover 109 can be driven in the scene is a separate question from availability, requiring the owner's agreement, insurance checks and confirmed transport and driver arrangements.
