This is one of those quirky Karriers which Northumberland ran as ET's for a while. This one turned up a few years ago at Preston Park Rally for sale! What happened to it anyone?
DVLA records show this as taxed up to 2005, so chances are its still around. A recent photo would be good for all to see as these are strange but nice little machines!

the appliance is still very much around, i have owned it since just after this photograph was taken.It is still garaged in county Durham living next to our accident ambulance.
This has the Karrier factory crew cab, which was originally designed for dust carts, or garbage trucks, as I have now learned to call them. It was very tight for people alteady fully dressed in overalls, and I can't imagine a fire crew trying to get their uniforms on in there!
