Such German made fire engines were really in use in Spain? |

This is a good question. Surely, the companies specialized in fire-engine-interior and -cars like Ziegler, for example, were always engaged in the export, but this Magirus above has a colour-combination, which was usual in Germany. Does Spanish fire engine have orange lights? In Germany it's always blue. If this is an authentic German truck, which was brought to Spain for the movie, the orange lights can be possible - private owners of old fire-engines, police- and ambulance-cars aren't allowed to let the blue lights on the cars. Only on private ground you are allowed to show them. Otherwise they must be covered or remounted. But if you change them with orange lamps, it's not problem. Orange is just a warning-sign, which everyone can use. |

It appears that Spanish fire engines do have orange lights. http://www.fire-engine-photos.com/picture/number3231.asp Link to "www.fire-engine-photos.com" -- Last edit: 2008-05-12 21:53:52 |

Here in Norway there has been and still is a lot of german firetrucks. So I would not be surprised if they were exported to Spain |

But Spain the the 70ies had a very restricted import of cars. It was impressing for me, when I saw, how many different brands and models were assembled in Spain (but mostly never exported). I didn't know that before - some facts more, which I've learned in this forum. This Magirus is 100% German made, also the fire-brigade-equpment, not only the chassis. -- Last edit: 2008-05-12 22:11:22 |

I think these scenes were filmed in Germany, even if lights have different color. -- Last edit: 2008-05-14 18:43:20 |

Yes, Magirus fire engines were in widespread use in Spain. Probably because no locally made replacement could be found. About the warning lights colours in Spain: blue is for police exclusively, orange was used by both fire and ambulances. Nowadays, fire use red, and ambulances keep orange. |

I think Magirus wasn't that rare in Spain. there are (or were) several of them in the Museo de Bomberos in Madrid (found an article in 'Clásicos del Motor', Octubre 2.001). |

Surely not. You see it by the vegetation in the background and by the fact, that also Spanish made cars and fire-engine were in the same scenes - and except a few Seat 770 no other Spanish cars were on the German market, until years later the first Seat Ibiza, the Marbella and -(only a very few) Malaga's and single Fura's were imported. Surely, to the first Spanish made cars, available in Germany, belonged also the Opel Corsa A, the 1980+ Ford Escort and the VW Polo 86 C. Trucks and cars like Pegaso, Ebro, Land-Rover Santana, Dodge-Barreiros, Authi and the Spanish assembled French cars were never ever running in Germany. |

But do you see, that all cars and trucks over here a Spanish made, the chassis, and the equipment, totally? |

Magirus were VERY popular in Spain, specially as fire engines and dump trucks. My own city fire museum has a model from the 20s in its museum, and the later "Rundhauber" and "Eckhauber" were a familiar sight in every city fire department. I even have an original manual for the M145 model from the late 30s-early40s. |
