green goddess

Two Goddesses were auctioned by BCA. Both 1956 models, very good refurbed condition, went for £2475

A grand or two, if you're lucky. There's plenty about and they're horrible, Sorry.

If you want a "collectible fire engine" you're better off with something '60s vintage that has spent the last few decades lurking around a large factory. The only good thing about a Goddess is the off-road 4WD. On-road the infamous lack of baffles in the water tank limits them to about 30mph (and that's scary enough on a corner)

Andy,

Any idea how many are now retained by UK Govt?

The last published records show 1098 on inventory. I know some have been sold off but no idea how many. Are they being slowly replaced by more modern machines and kept with the "Green Gilberts" at Marchington?

Thanks Ian
