West Sussex Fire Brigade operated two of these, as the editor has suggested details provided by Mr Pete Matten West Sussex operated them in brillant white. Whole time crews at Chichester and Horsham were dismayed as whilst driving them they were so slow that pedal cyclists were overtaking them on hills needless to say they turned off the blues & twos ! I suspect they were a very cheap purchase and this was a ploy to get central government funding for a proper specialist replacement units which came in the form of two Ford A Series with bodywork (basic) Hawsons.
