One cool thing about the fire service in Dublin is that they operate US-style Fire ambulances housed in the stations. All firefighters in Dublin are trained as paramedics and rotate between the trucks and ambulances.
Hi ian . im 🇦🇺 if you turned down the volume you could be confused in thinking this is Australia look very similar street scape and cars .hi to all the Irish 🇦🇺👍
You need to look into the land rovers more! They were the british take on the willys jeep, and they're absolute beasts. and rust magnets. You might find the "Tangi" land rover interesting - an armored version for use in the northern ireland police service. Luckily they're getting rarer. And yes - the Rosenbauer looks like it belongs on Mars, not Dublin.
dont know where you get the rust magnet idea I have 5 Landrovers rangingfrom 1962 series 2a to a couple of discovery 2s td5 and none of them have a rust problem
"The rain is not stopping them..." 😂 .... i mean it is Ireland. This is an average day in March , weatherwise. We have a similar weatherpatern, wind or water are no issue for us but put me in Arizona and i will probably die the minute i step outside. 😂. It just depends what you're used to i guess.
In the UK there are tegular MOD (Warcdept) vehicle sales, but most police fire and ambulance fleets are now leased. Ireland will be different. Volunteers in mountain rescues teams (etc.) used to seek out ex mod vehicles.
The red Cross toyota is a landcruiser 120 series, very common in Ireland, as regards purchasing decommissioned, emergency vehicles in Ireland, yes it's possible, most end up in car auctions, police cars are stripped out and the vinyl wrap stickers removed, they're base models and would be pretty worn out, so not really worth buying, you sometimes get fire engines and ambulances too, incidentally I live next door to a truck dismantler's yard and he often gets fire engines, recently he had two airport fire tender complete with foam cannons, you also get some pretty cool electricity supply board (ESB) trucks at the auctions, mostly 4x4 mercedes like unimogs, atego trucks and vario vans, they also use 4WD and 2WD iveco, Ford, Renault and Toyota, all of which eventually end up at auction. The only ex government stuff you can't purchase are military vehicles.
oh, and btw: there are at least 2 Scanias in the US.. in Florida! Bruce Wilson has a ton of videos on his YT channel including a trip to Sweden and Finland, he's very much a Scania newbie and superfan as well, it's been a blast to watch his eurotruck journey!
Yes, you can purchase second hand emergency service vehicles at auction in UK & Ireland. Would be class to see you react to the emergency vehicles responding in Northern Ireland :)
11:27 those Rosenbauer look really nice. Amsterdam Schiphol just replaces their crashtenders with I think the same model but 8x8 drive due to the soft soil around the airport. those really look like beasts. For your emergency reaction video's. we used to have Cheverolet ambulances here in the Amsterdam region replaced about 8 years ago. If you search for the video "Amsterdamse Chevrolet ambulances definitief uit dienst." you can see some nice drifting action in the first part of the video :P
there was a segment on the UK Top Gear where they wandered around an old ex-military/ex-police vehicle auction where you could buy anything from old Defenders over mine clearance vehicles all the way to helicopters.. very interesting to watch what they had on offer (it's the Top Gear house demolition video)
Yup! That first car was a Garda car, Gardaí in the plural (Gar-dee). The daff, hope I typed that correctly, is for transporting prisoners to and from court to jail and back again. Also used to transport prisoners from jail to hospital appointments, I think, I could be wrong on that last point. I do watch one of your fellow countrymen on CZcams:- ZeroEnigma, a New York cyclist. I can never tell the difference between the sounds of the police cars, fire trucks and ambulance trucks,, how can you see the similarity between Dublin Emergency Vehicles and American Vehicles, genuine query. I would be screwed in New York if my life depended on telling the difference between them.🙈🤣 I can see the Wicklow - Dublin mountains from my house, I have a great view from my bedroom window, which includes the infamous Hell Fire Club. I live in the valley of the mountains in Greenhills, Dublin. My Aunt and Godmother lives on the foothills on the Wicklow - Dublin mountains, Dublin side. A lot of people get stuck up there, including us Irish. The weather in Ireland can be very changeable. We've had all four seasons in the one day here in Ireland. That's how changeable Irish weather can be.
A police station is called a garda station. Garda is also the name of the lowest rank within the force (e.g. "Garda John Murphy", analogous to the British term "constable" or the American "officer", "deputy", "trooper", etc.).
The iveco is the same crew cab as my supervisor has at work. Although the back is different as we have it set up for traffic control. That first Toyota is badged as Toyota Prado here in Australia, which as of last year is now badged as a Land Cruiser Prado. Just a bit smaller than a normal cruiser.
The liveries are called Battenberg pattern after the cake, and yes they do really standout. In the UK yellow/blue is police yellow/green is ambulance and yellow/red is fire
Land Rover Defender and Discovery mk1 & 2 are almost the same. They share a lot of parts, are easy to work on and if there was a road to the Moon, they would make it! In modern years the saying goes... "why doesn't LR make their own electronics" , well.... they are still trying to make a computer leak oil! ;) P.S. if there's no puddle of oil underneath a LR, something is wrong!
11:23 Funny you mention the rosenbauer fire truck being like out of a TF movie... ...because it is actually the case. In DotM (TF 3), Sentinel Prime alt mode is one of these!
The ""squared"" paint scheme - also used in the UK and Europe - is known as the ""Battenburg"" scheme, after the English cake of the same name. Look up Battenburg cake and you'll see the obvious connection!
Most countries in the world have also standardized the colors of the Battenburg markings. The police are yellow/blue, the ambulance is yellow/green and the fire brigade is usually yellow/red.
At least in Germany you can buy old emergency vehicles. They are usually leased and sold afterwards from the manufacturer, sometimes even with some of modifications except for blue lights, radio and so on. But mostly it is just for "normal" vehicles, if they are very specialized like the landrovers, they usually are driven until they are just scraped. Double axle in the back usually indicates, that it is 3,5-7.5 tons vehicle instead of up to 3,5 for "normal" vans. Those Rosenbauer fire trucks are very expensive and are usually only used on bigger airports and/or at some huge factories (e.g. chemical companies) from the works fire service.
11:07 that fire appliance is a Dublin Airport unit, and is unlike most fire engines on the road here in Ireland. The unit behind it is more or less what regular fire engines look like, with a mixture of truck manufacturers as well as different companies that fit them out as fire engines
That Ford Estate you thought was a Focus was actually a Mondeo, the bigger "brother" of the Focus, I believe in the US that model was most recently sold as the Ford Fusion, and before that the Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique That Toyota SUV is indeed a Land Cruiser, it might be a version of the Land Cruiser you didnt get in the US since you did not Recognize it That Renault van that you said you don't get in the US, you should consider yourself lucky, we had one of those at my last job, and despite it not even having 60k miles on the clock it had a literal sh*tload of problems all the time, the door handles kept falling off, the entire sliding side door to the back actually fell off one time, the engine had a wierd knocking noise when the engine was cold etc. And to top it all off, atleast for me as a rather tall guy, which I know you are too, it was extremely uncomfortable to drive, my knees were pretty much welded to the dashboard at all times despite having the seat pushed back almost through the wall
Emergency vehicles here have something in common with the US is that some of your Emergency vehicles use technology from a Irish company by the name of Timoney Technology of Ireland. USAF fire emergency & Military trucks also use technology from the Irish company. The fire rescue truck you like would be a licensed version of the Timoney vehicles. Check the company out.
The only quibble I have is that the old school Defender in the video is very much not a "lifestyle vehicle", it's purely a utility wagon. That said the example pictured did have alloy wheels which looked a little incongruous.
Do you have police horses in US? I thought every city would have them. My dog loves them and every time we see them it starts to walk right next to them. Even the police officers are nicer than usual. We always get lot of smiles from them.
@@IWrocker Garda means guardian in Irish An Gardaí Síochána the guardians of the peace. The Garda horse units use Irish draught horses. The American fast food chains tend to use older structures. As for the DAF it is used to transport of prisoners those convicted, awaiting trial or during a trial while on remand. As for Landrovers the Defender like its Series predecessor they were the go to choice in the ROI, UK and Italy for uniformed services for many years. They started off in the late 1940’s as a spin off product from the Rover car company to make a better version of the jeep which they did. The pre 2007 short wheel base could carry 7 people while the medium wheelbase pre 2007 can carry 9/10 people. The jeep and humvee only four people. As for sirens the classic Irish one is the British style two tone and they still retain that option far as I know. Dublin Fire Brigade until recently still had Dennis Sabres in frontline service. The RNLI still use Landrover Defenders and like the Mountain Rescue are mainly volunteer. The Garda cars that are white with the lime stripe are regular squad cars, battenburg is roads policing formerly the traffic corps and battenburg with red stripe is Armed Support Unit or ERU.
@@OscarOSullivanThe 109"/110" Series / Defender could be had with up to 12 seats (tight fit). It was actually a tax dodge, in the UK it qualified as a "bus" and was thus exempt from a purchase tax on "cars". This backfired when the UK stopped handing out minibus licenses with car licenses and fewer people were licensed to drive them. Later Defenders were reduced to 7 seats in the long version and 5 iin the short. Double wheel vans also require a light truck license (C1) which stopped being given out with the car license. Now they just overload the single wheel ones...
Garda (singular) and Gardai (plural, pronounced like “gardee”) = police in Irish. We do have dual rear wheels in vans in the US. Both, Ford Transit and Mercedes/Freightliner Sprinter are available with them. They’s most often found as 15-pax high top passenger vans. Ireland mostly uses Hyundais for police vehicles and the city cars tend to have the plain white livery, while the motorway (highway) units are high visibility. As for the variety of brands… Ireland doesn’t make cars, so they have no domestic industry to protect and no preconceptions. They buy what works for them in the moment.
You should look at some of the more obscure British emergency vehicles,especially the video where the military range caught fire,we have unimogs, and even a British G wagon as a brush fire vehicle!
In Australia. Yes, it is possible for people to buy retired police cars in Australia. Once a police vehicle is decommissioned and sold, it can be purchased by individuals through auctions or private sales.
Thats probably filmed at a St.Patricks day parade. Garda is the shortened version of Garda Siochianna, which is Irish for "Civilian Guards", the national police force. They are in large part, an unarmed police force. ( apart from a baton). The DAF is a prisoner transport, for moving them to and from Court, Prison etc. The Toyota is a HiLux crew-cab with a canopy on back. Buy old Govt. Vehicles?, yes, especially Piwer Company vans and 4x4s. Tbe cars are usually scrapped, they're run into the ground.
This is National Services Day .. I don't know if it was always a thing, but during lockdown they turned it into a parade of sorts. They literally just drove around town showing off everything they had here, so you could enjoy it from your front room.
It's 'Garda Síochána' (pron. GAR-duh Sh'KAWN-uh') and means 'Guardians of the Peace'; the early Irish government wanted to emphasize the Irish Language and steer away from things English. They are usually referred to as 'the guards'.
That first one was likely a 1916 commemoration parade. Garda means guardian in Irish An Gardaí Síochána the guardians of the peace. The Garda horse units use Irish draught horses. The American fast food chains tend to use older structures.
We call the squared colour scheme of any colour " Battenburg style" So called after Battenburg cakes which are pink & yellow squares in a yellow marzipan wrap. regards
Should've included Dublin Fire Brigade who are a Fire-EMS service, you would've seen the livery seen on Dublin's ambulance service which is provided through DFB
In Spakenburg, Netherlands. We use the double wheels at the back. From the well-known van builders. To take our sales trailers to the Market. And take some extra stock with you. Back in the day, it was the Nissan Patrols. Greetings from Spakenburg, Netherlands.
None of the Audi Q7 Garda Armed support vehicles 😮 now those are cool. I got pulled over once by them, they had their faces covered and heavily armed. Mistaken identity of course 😂 I was driving a similar car to the one they were looking for.
Half way through the video an ad for LG came on. The thing that got me was, LG for what ever reason came up with a concept car. Ian, you should check it out.
That rosenbaur fire truck is almost certainly from an airport... They are highly specialised for fighting aircraft fires but not a huge amount of use for much else (other than something like a fuel tanker fire on the highway)
Yes you can buy old Garda and other government agencies vehicles, and they are probably the best ones to buy if you can get them, Normally they are fully spec out with full service history and all the best repair parts would have been put into them.
the Daf Irish prison truck from the court house to the prison.the red cross and the Order of malta are not main ambulance service and if you called 999 or 112 the natinal ambulance service would come
3:45 thats as we call, the dog box. The Prison bus. They come much bigger also theres smaller ones too. IPS stands for Irish prison service and then the truck serial number. They bring convicted People to prison from court, or prisoners from prison to court and prison transfers. 8:06 yea you can, in the Garda auctions. Also you can go online to the CAB Auctions that sells confiscated stuff from people too.
Yes you can buy ex-military or service vehicles, To follow your interest in Land Rovers, I've seen a fair few Ex-military Ambulance series 2/3 Land Rovers that have been turned into campers!
In the UK, i myself is from England but im sure its the same in Northern Ireland Scotland etc. I own an ex-ambulance Renault Master, still with the livery, not with the lights and sirens however, and i also own an ex-police Ford Focus Estate, just like your Crown Vic, its plain white for me. You can buy decommissioned emergency vehicles and it depends on the service if you still have the elements of the service, for example if you buy an ex-fire engine it’ll most likely still have lights, livery, sirens etc, and ambulances likely with just a livery, and police would have no livery nor lights/sirens. As for light types we have blue lights, orange lights, green lights, red lights, white lights Blue lit vehicles are typically the only vehicles with a siren and can legally swerve through traffic and speed. Orange lit vehicles are arguably the most dangerous, and depending on the service is what some orange lights mean, with the Highways Agency theyre used as more of a police-esque way and normally theyre just warning lights that there’s something that can potentially harm the public around. Green lights are typically for Doctor cars, and are usually used in conjunction with blue and red lights Red lights are used on most emergency vehicles and only in certain circumstances like pursuits, traffic stops, and if they’re blocking traffic. White lights im not sure on, they’re probably just for a variety purpose.
12:12 If you seen enough of'm Euro truck front-ends you'll know at a glance what manufacturer it is. easiest is the shape of the windshield, cause everyone has a different size and shape
All mountain rescue teams on the Island, except for the Police team in Northern Ireland, are unpaid volunteers. Lots of the teams use land rovers czcams.com/video/4vtDNoRqioo/video.html
6:25 A Landy Defender, iconic emergency vehicle but a reversed Tardis...... Big on the outside, tiny inside with a awful driving position, note the driver's window being open (even in the rain!!!) due to you having to put your elbow of it to be remotely comfortable!!! 😂😂😂 Rot like nobody's business as well if not kept on top of!!! You can buy old emergency vehicles here in the UK but depending on what you buy you're getting a well beaten car for example thats been thrashed within an inch of it's life and will have possibly holes in the dash, missing parts (the car radio for example) and possible visible repair damage. I bought an ex traffic car and although it had 36,000 miles on the (calibrate speedo) clock and service history.... it had a massive ECU fault which even the dealership couldn't fix. Biggest POS and waste of money I've ever bought. Although saying that there are people who love buying ex police cars and putting them back to full working condition which is pretty cool.
@11:22, That beast is a Airport fire truck. it is the foam cannon. The nozzle on the fornt is controled from insde the can and can be teowing foam onto the aircraft as it is stil droving towards the aircraft. htere is a remote conttoled arm on the top that can reack uo and ove the aircreaft froma safe diatance and blanet the aitctraft or surrounding area with foam to stop fire spreading especally if the fuel has leaked out. ther is also a lance that can pierce the aircraft sking and inkect foam into the cabin czcams.com/video/R23NFVkX-tg/video.html
so just like the DAF LF you saw at 3:40, theres alot of smaller versions of lorries that are mostly for mid to heavy weight transport and they are only available as rigid bodies(very common as 4x2 and 6x2 with steerable rear rear axle which weighs less and has better maneuverability due to 2 steerable axles instead of 1 like the 6x4 with both being the same length) other examples are the Mercedes Atego and Axor; Volvo FL; Iveco Eurocargo; Scania L-series, P-series and sometimes the G-series is also available as rigid body; Renault Trucks D and Premium; and finally the MAN TGL and TGM Land Rover Defender and the Mercedes G-Wagon are basically the Euro-Wrangler, btw the one in this video looks like it has LED headlights or some modern headlight, these actually been in production till 2019, and they are offroad monsters since theyre available as (turbo)Diesels plus they are available (also like the Wrangler) as coupe's, pick-up body or 5 doors SUV. the G-wagon still carries the same cube-like shape meanwhile the new Defender doesnt look like a Defender anymore.
@@automation7295if i am not mistaken they been in production till 2019, it could be special final editions only tho, because my mate owns a 110 v8 and it has the same body as the one in this video, he told me its a 2018 and has 400bhp😋
Same in Germany. I love that you can buy a Crown Vic with US livery and everything and drive it. Lights an Sirens should be non functional. One Day i have to buy one
in the uk you can buy x police cars but the older ones. more modern times unsure. but i do know some cheaper panda cars small cheap city run about's. i test drive a x police car corsa diesel, thing was smokey for sure, small city car prob thrashed most of it life you could see where computer in back was. you can pick up older ambulances even with bright livery ive seen them for sale , and very old ones / classics lots them still have blue lights but of course on the road it illegal to use them. so answer yes in uk, ireland im unsure but i guess for cheaper cars they buy outright they prob do sell. but very risky as they do not have MOT they do own safety checks and servicing so very highly likely to be clocked as many examples auction miles to what they sell then some have staggering 50-90,000 miles less are some crazy examples as most cars have Mot history so track miles not with a x police car, unless you do some digging and search for auction and find how many miles on clock it has you could get robbed as a car 70,000 or car with 190,000 a big price difference esp if they changed miles to 50,000 less. what would stop this is police mot car before auction but police do not care about crime really they do not unless easy target
Yeah, I put a comment on another video a couple of weeks ago, and it got a heap of likes on it. He will flip when he starts seeing those recent videos of his trip to the scania factory and to Finland at a workshop for modding scanias
You can. They are regularly sold off in auctions, obviously stripped of their liveries and equipment. Merlin car auctions in Kildare or Wilson's in Kingswood occasionally have some in stock. They are almost always clapped out with fried clutches as they are worked hard 20hs a day for 5 or 6 years straight. You really wouldn't want one. I have seen some other ex emergency vehicles put to other uses like a Fire engine (ex Cork County FB) turned into a food truck and an old ambulance turned into a camper.
Thanks for using my video! It was great to see the genuine interest in the vehicles.... If you have any questions feel free to send them on ever!
I've NEVER got a reply from any of my comments. He's only worried about money. And you sent a video!! I unsubscribed him 😡
Ya the police here🇮🇪 are called "An Garda Siochana" which in irish translates to the guardians of the peace.

They started off in the late 1940’s as a spin off product from the Rover car company to make a better version of the jeep which they did. The pre 2007 short wheel base could carry 7 people while the medium wheelbase pre 2007 can carry 9/10 people. The jeep and humvee only four people.
As for sirens the classic Irish one is the British style two tone and they still retain that option far as I know.
Dublin Fire Brigade until recently still had Dennis Sabres in frontline service.
The RNLI still use Landrover Defenders and like the Mountain Rescue are mainly volunteer.
The Garda cars that are white with the lime stripe are regular squad cars, battenburg is roads policing formerly the traffic corps and battenburg with red stripe is Armed Support Unit or ERU.
@@OscarOSullivanThe 109"/110" Series / Defender could be had with up to 12 seats (tight fit). It was actually a tax dodge, in the UK it qualified as a "bus" and was thus exempt from a purchase tax on "cars". This backfired when the UK stopped handing out minibus licenses with car licenses and fewer people were licensed to drive them. Later Defenders were reduced to 7 seats in the long version and 5 iin the short. Double wheel vans also require a light truck license (C1) which stopped being given out with the car license. Now they just overload the single wheel ones...
What you call wagons e.g. The Ford Focus.We call estates over here in the uk..
Garda (singular) and Gardai (plural, pronounced like “gardee”) = police in Irish.
We do have dual rear wheels in vans in the US. Both, Ford Transit and Mercedes/Freightliner Sprinter are available with them. They’s most often found as 15-pax high top passenger vans.
Ireland mostly uses Hyundais for police vehicles and the city cars tend to have the plain white livery, while the motorway (highway) units are high visibility. As for the variety of brands… Ireland doesn’t make cars, so they have no domestic industry to protect and no preconceptions. They buy what works for them in the moment.
The Garda is Irish police ... The Iveco is an inmate transportation , the Defender , for S.A.R
You should look at some of the more obscure British emergency vehicles,especially the video where the military range caught fire,we have unimogs, and even a British G wagon as a brush fire vehicle!
you should definitely check some Irish rally also
Yess ssir! Ireland on TOP baby!! ❤
3:20
I a German would call this config of the IVECO daily a truck, because it for sure is above the 5 ton mark
In Australia. Yes, it is possible for people to buy retired police cars in Australia. Once a police vehicle is decommissioned and sold, it can be purchased by individuals through auctions or private sales.
I would love to get the chance to drive those Fire-Engines.
Thats probably filmed at a St.Patricks day parade.
Garda is the shortened version of Garda Siochianna, which is Irish for "Civilian Guards", the national police force.
They are in large part, an unarmed police force. ( apart from a baton).
The DAF is a prisoner transport, for moving them to and from Court, Prison etc.
The Toyota is a HiLux crew-cab with a canopy on back.
Buy old Govt. Vehicles?, yes, especially Piwer Company vans and 4x4s.
Tbe cars are usually scrapped, they're run into the ground.
This is National Services Day .. I don't know if it was always a thing, but during lockdown they turned it into a parade of sorts. They literally just drove around town showing off everything they had here, so you could enjoy it from your front room.
An Garda Síochána means The Guardians of the peace.
It's 'Garda Síochána' (pron. GAR-duh Sh'KAWN-uh') and means 'Guardians of the Peace'; the early Irish government wanted to emphasize the Irish Language and steer away from things English. They are usually referred to as 'the guards'.
Not St Patricks day. It is National servise day.
A person from my family had an ex garda car it was ford mondeo from 2005
That first one was likely a 1916 commemoration parade. Garda means guardian in Irish An Gardaí Síochána the guardians of the peace.
The Garda horse units use Irish draught horses.
The American fast food chains tend to use older structures.
We call the squared colour scheme of any colour " Battenburg style" So called after Battenburg cakes which are pink & yellow squares in a yellow marzipan wrap. regards
Should've included Dublin Fire Brigade who are a Fire-EMS service, you would've seen the livery seen on Dublin's ambulance service which is provided through DFB
In Spakenburg, Netherlands. We use the double wheels at the back. From the well-known van builders. To take our sales trailers to the Market. And take some extra stock with you. Back in the day, it was the Nissan Patrols. Greetings from Spakenburg, Netherlands.
Most of the liveries come from vinyl wrapping. When sold most of the wrapping is removed.
None of the Audi Q7 Garda Armed support vehicles 😮 now those are cool.
I got pulled over once by them, they had their faces covered and heavily armed.
Mistaken identity of course 😂
I was driving a similar car to the one they were looking for.
The Toyota from Irish Red Cross IS a Land Cruiser. You are correct, Sir 🙂
That Defender looked more like an old school discovery. Which look far better than the modern ones.
The vans with the dual rear wheels are most likely 5ton vans , a standard van in the UK is 3.5ton
U should do a video of the Gaelic football and hurling in Ireland
Half way through the video an ad for LG came on. The thing that got me was, LG for what ever reason came up with a concept car. Ian, you should check it out.
That’s wild.. thanks I’ll check it out 🎉
The electrical company in Ireland use Unimogs.
That rosenbaur fire truck is almost certainly from an airport... They are highly specialised for fighting aircraft fires but not a huge amount of use for much else (other than something like a fuel tanker fire on the highway)
They are Dublin Airport Fire Service :)
You can buy decommissioned Garda cars. They're just white regular cars. They go very cheap because of the mileage and abuse they got over time.
Yes you can buy old Garda and other government agencies vehicles, and they are probably the best ones to buy if you can get them, Normally they are fully spec out with full service history and all the best repair parts would have been put into them.
All those services are volunteers, meaning no pay of any kind.
Would love to see you react to some dutch emergency vehicles there are some awesome cars and trucks over here
We used to have a Lamborghini gallardo for high speed chases
Yes, you can pick up ex services vehicle at auction etc. My cousin bought an ex civil defence Toyota Hilux. Great pickup with low miles.
the Daf Irish prison truck from the court house to the prison.the red cross and the Order of malta are not main ambulance service and if you called 999 or 112 the natinal ambulance service would come
3:45 thats as we call, the dog box. The Prison bus. They come much bigger also theres smaller ones too. IPS stands for Irish prison service and then the truck serial number. They bring convicted People to prison from court, or prisoners from prison to court and prison transfers.
8:06 yea you can, in the Garda auctions. Also you can go online to the CAB Auctions that sells confiscated stuff from people too.
Yes you can buy ex-military or service vehicles,
To follow your interest in Land Rovers, I've seen a fair few Ex-military Ambulance series 2/3 Land Rovers that have been turned into campers!
Land Rover Defenders (the old ones) are half tractor. Incredible vehicle but not an everyday drive unless you’re a farmer who’s staying local.
think they missed the armored police cars, the ones dealing with riots
In the UK, i myself is from England but im sure its the same in Northern Ireland Scotland etc. I own an ex-ambulance Renault Master, still with the livery, not with the lights and sirens however, and i also own an ex-police Ford Focus Estate, just like your Crown Vic, its plain white for me. You can buy decommissioned emergency vehicles and it depends on the service if you still have the elements of the service, for example if you buy an ex-fire engine it’ll most likely still have lights, livery, sirens etc, and ambulances likely with just a livery, and police would have no livery nor lights/sirens.
As for light types we have blue lights, orange lights, green lights, red lights, white lights
Blue lit vehicles are typically the only vehicles with a siren and can legally swerve through traffic and speed.
Orange lit vehicles are arguably the most dangerous, and depending on the service is what some orange lights mean, with the Highways Agency theyre used as more of a police-esque way and normally theyre just warning lights that there’s something that can potentially harm the public around.
Green lights are typically for Doctor cars, and are usually used in conjunction with blue and red lights
Red lights are used on most emergency vehicles and only in certain circumstances like pursuits, traffic stops, and if they’re blocking traffic.
White lights im not sure on, they’re probably just for a variety purpose.
Pretty sure I've seen purple as well. Maybe a veterinary surgeon.
as a general rule singel tire means total weigth 3500kg and dual tire means 7500kg
11:18 Actually Sentinel Prime in Transformers 3 is a Rosenbauer Panther. 😊
12:12
If you seen enough of'm Euro truck front-ends you'll know at a glance what manufacturer it is.
easiest is the shape of the windshield, cause everyone has a different size and shape
First image it’s St.Patrick day.
All mountain rescue teams on the Island, except for the Police team in Northern Ireland, are unpaid volunteers. Lots of the teams use land rovers czcams.com/video/4vtDNoRqioo/video.html
6:25 A Landy Defender, iconic emergency vehicle but a reversed Tardis...... Big on the outside, tiny inside with a awful driving position, note the driver's window being open (even in the rain!!!) due to you having to put your elbow of it to be remotely comfortable!!! 😂😂😂 Rot like nobody's business as well if not kept on top of!!!
You can buy old emergency vehicles here in the UK but depending on what you buy you're getting a well beaten car for example thats been thrashed within an inch of it's life and will have possibly holes in the dash, missing parts (the car radio for example) and possible visible repair damage. I bought an ex traffic car and although it had 36,000 miles on the (calibrate speedo) clock and service history.... it had a massive ECU fault which even the dealership couldn't fix. Biggest POS and waste of money I've ever bought. Although saying that there are people who love buying ex police cars and putting them back to full working condition which is pretty cool.
@11:22, That beast is a Airport fire truck. it is the foam cannon. The nozzle on the fornt is controled from insde the can and can be teowing foam onto the aircraft as it is stil droving towards the aircraft. htere is a remote conttoled arm on the top that can reack uo and ove the aircreaft froma safe diatance and blanet the aitctraft or surrounding area with foam to stop fire spreading especally if the fuel has leaked out. ther is also a lance that can pierce the aircraft sking and inkect foam into the cabin

A lot of the Europe countries it’s part of their building codes. That’s why they BK sign look like that.
so just like the DAF LF you saw at 3:40, theres alot of smaller versions of lorries that are mostly for mid to heavy weight transport and they are only available as rigid bodies(very common as 4x2 and 6x2 with steerable rear rear axle which weighs less and has better maneuverability due to 2 steerable axles instead of 1 like the 6x4 with both being the same length)
other examples are the Mercedes Atego and Axor; Volvo FL; Iveco Eurocargo; Scania L-series, P-series and sometimes the G-series is also available as rigid body; Renault Trucks D and Premium; and finally the MAN TGL and TGM
Land Rover Defender and the Mercedes G-Wagon are basically the Euro-Wrangler, btw the one in this video looks like it has LED headlights or some modern headlight, these actually been in production till 2019, and they are offroad monsters since theyre available as (turbo)Diesels plus they are available (also like the Wrangler) as coupe's, pick-up body or 5 doors SUV.
the G-wagon still carries the same cube-like shape meanwhile the new Defender doesnt look like a Defender anymore.
While yes, the Defender doesnt look like a Defender anymore, but they still called it a "Defender" because Land Rover are idiots.
Didn't they ended the production in 2016?
@@automation7295if i am not mistaken they been in production till 2019, it could be special final editions only tho, because my mate owns a 110 v8 and it has the same body as the one in this video, he told me its a 2018 and has 400bhp😋
Believe they may continue to make the tangi style ones for the PSNI
You should definitely check out Romania National Day Parade for military and emergency vehicles..😮
Most ex service cars go to auction.
Ford mondeo estate/wagon. Bigger than focus
08:17 Yes in Estonia can by old police, ambulance even army used cars on plain like civil car by interbnet or special market.
Same in Germany. I love that you can buy a Crown Vic with US livery and everything and drive it. Lights an Sirens should be non functional. One Day i have to buy one
Ahhh finally we get some recognition here!
Do southern California emergency vehicles
react to them responding! also react to any of the polish polices special forces or units, its worth it!
Ireland, UK, Spain, Belgium and most eastern European countries have American style sirens.
in the uk you can buy x police cars but the older ones. more modern times unsure. but i do know some cheaper panda cars small cheap city run about's. i test drive a x police car corsa diesel, thing was smokey for sure, small city car prob thrashed most of it life you could see where computer in back was. you can pick up older ambulances even with bright livery ive seen them for sale , and very old ones / classics lots them still have blue lights but of course on the road it illegal to use them. so answer yes in uk, ireland im unsure but i guess for cheaper cars they buy outright they prob do sell. but very risky as they do not have MOT they do own safety checks and servicing so very highly likely to be clocked as many examples auction miles to what they sell then some have staggering 50-90,000 miles less are some crazy examples as most cars have Mot history so track miles not with a x police car, unless you do some digging and search for auction and find how many miles on clock it has you could get robbed as a car 70,000 or car with 190,000 a big price difference esp if they changed miles to 50,000 less. what would stop this is police mot car before auction but police do not care about crime really they do not unless easy target
Rosenbauer would be airport fire service
Toyota prado its called in Australia.
if your getting into scanias check out bruce wilson he has also just found out about them recently
Yeah, I put a comment on another video a couple of weeks ago, and it got a heap of likes on it. He will flip when he starts seeing those recent videos of his trip to the scania factory and to Finland at a workshop for modding scanias
scania fire trucks we have them in austrlaia also
Check out northern Ireland police vehicles if you want to see some tough cars. Because of the troubles the police cars there are crazy.
Check out Icelandic search and rescue vehicles
An Garda Síochána - Guardians Of The Peace
LandCruiser Prado
Have you ever seen Dutch volunteer firefighters if you chose my comment the channel is Brandweer Lunteren the video is car fire from 2 months ago
Can you do scottish emergency vehicles next
No you can't buy second hand emergency vehicles in Ireland they are scraped
You can. They are regularly sold off in auctions, obviously stripped of their liveries and equipment. Merlin car auctions in Kildare or Wilson's in Kingswood occasionally have some in stock.
They are almost always clapped out with fried clutches as they are worked hard 20hs a day for 5 or 6 years straight. You really wouldn't want one.
I have seen some other ex emergency vehicles put to other uses like a Fire engine (ex Cork County FB) turned into a food truck and an old ambulance turned into a camper.
