I don't know what this is but it is a very interesting conversion of an older horse-drawn steam fire pump. The style of the front fenders would suggest a date of about 1905.

Neither do I, but for some reason the wide radiator suggested Napier to me ... pity IMDb isn't helpful about filming locations; if we knew where this museum was, and it had a website, it might tell us. (citsa :hello: do you have any ideas?)

Good idea, Chris. I found that it has to be the James Hall Museum of Transport in Johannesburg. But their website is under construction...

The radiator shows "Merryweather London" - James Hall Museum of Transport Johannesburg.

Looking to see if more is to be found on other websites.
