Forget those. It's got to be one of these when they are back in stock. Great for the school run.

A friend of my in-laws has got one - in fact, I was driven to my wedding in it:
He thinks it's great - he takes it along to village fetes and the odd classic event to show it off. I think it only does about 4 miles to the gallon though, and has a max speed of about 35mph.
It was certainly fun turning up to the church in it with the siren going off!

Some of them could be worth having for the plates alone if you can transfer them.
As for the puny water-pump comment above, these were never intended for putting out chimney fires, the original intention IIRC was that teams of these things would (hopefully) fight the devastating fires resulting from a nuclear bomb blast. Intended to run for days on end they are a pump on wheels, not a blues 'n twos (or bells and lights in the '50s) emergency response vehicle hence the apalling handling. The fact that they have survived while their civilian counterparts have mostly long gone to the scrapyard is probably due to HMG trying to get some use out of them somehow.
