Nice to hear of a happy ever after for one of these beauties.
I saw the exact same model, infact from the Hampshire Fire Brigade, today, the only difference was the number plate. Fantastic!

I remember riding on one of these when Retained at Stn A3 Farnborough, in fact we had 2, one was a WTR and the other a WTL, call signs 03 and 103 - Farnborough station closed when Rushmoor was opened. Oh happy days and only 18 !!!! As a separate question, can anybody tell me what happened to the Rescue Tenders built on L/Rover Forward control chassis - 1 was stationed at A3 and I have a photo of me, my Father and step brother stood beside it.
