Royce- I could not agree more! Why build appliances which looked like they were made of recycled metal dustbins?

I was once told it was because the red paint on units like this lovely F8 could get scratched! What about a few tubs of rubbing compound? Good exercise for the crew members, when they were not doing any other active pursuits!

No other country adopted this dismal grey cladding - and they too include many places which have hedgerows and/or narrow streets - but the British fire services went for it hook, line and stinker...
