Description
Fire Engine from a Japanese airport.
Bought by my husband in 2018 and used regularly since then. He had great fun with it – the sirens and lights work, and he fitted a system to play music through the siren speakers which was great for parties and kids. My husband sadly died last year and as I can’t drive it I have reluctantly decided it must go. It has a new MOT and battery, and drives well. It has been valeted throughout. The hosing and water pump system on the back was never tested by my husband and so I’ve no idea if it works.
Built on a Toyota Lite-Ace body.
Manual Transmission
Seats: 3 + 3
Faults:
There is some rust on some of the chrome fittings.
There is a small tear in the passenger seat.
One of the tyres deflates quickly – something to do with air escaping from around the wheel. When my husband became ill in 2018 he had a large operation which meant he couldn't bend sufficiently to get into his low-slung car. So he was looking for a car he could climb up into and saw this on ebay. We both thought it would be a lot of fun, especially as we were foster parents and had new kids coming into the house who would love it. We bought it and it was shipped over from Northern Ireland.
Since we've had it we used it regularly. My husband would play Happy Birthday through the siren speakers when we arrived at a friend's house for a birthday party, and every Christmas we would take cakes to our local fire station in it, and the firefighters would swarm all over it, pressing all the buttons and playing the sirens!
Sadly, my husband died last year, and as I can only drive automatic cars, I need to sell it. I hate seeing it sitting on the drive and want it to be back in use making people smile.
