C56 JVX This ex-St. John Ford Transit conversion ambulance has had some odd changes made to it! These include ‘ambulance’ being replaced with ‘ambience’ and graffiti-style paintwork added.

Iveco were the first company to offer diesel-engined ambulances that were able to meet the strict performance requirements. This is an incident support unit, which houses its own computer system.

ML02 HGC Here we have an MCC Smart Car. It is powered by a 3 cylinder 660cc turbo-charged engine that can produce up to 85 bhp. When this is combined with its light weight, it means that the vehicle is swift.



However, this car is only a two seater and has only a small amount of room for medical equipment. The price of nearly £10,000 will deter many fleet buyers as well.

The multitude of radio and electrical equipment can be seen on the inside of this Ford Mondeo. Equipment included radios, a mobile phone and a satellite navigation system.



Here we can see the distinctive livery of the same vehicle. It is operated by East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust.



The car is fitted with a roof mounted bar set of lights. This is complemented by a blue flashing light on the grill where the Ford badge usually goes. There is also a dashboard mounted blue flashing light.
