The Fat Controller:
do they have a normal mot?
will mr flux insure it?
what section on the forum do i put it in?
can i park it anywhere?



this is not the one but it is one of these
when it arrives in 2 weeks time i will add its photo.
all i need next is a 101

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
If its no longer 'in service', it will be subject to all the normal regs. Flux should insure under their 'special vehicles' bit, but I'd shop around if I were you.
It may even be tax exempt due to age.
Nice wagon though, great for crowd control :twisted:  :twisted:

littlepow:
Military or Range Rover section.

Haven't seen one of those for a while. Does yours come with all the rescue equipment?

I think, from the vague memory of a conversation I had with someone else who had one of these, that for the MOT exemtion you need to have the vehicle recorded with the fire service as an auxiliary vehicle - i.e. you may be called on to assist at some point. But there again an annual MOT isn't such a bad thing.

Should be tax exempt anyway as it's pre 73

Blues & twos are also probably only allowed if it's still in service, and there may well be additional regulations that apply.

There is probably an "ex fire engine" club, could be a good idea to find them and find out what the situation is.
