The Ford Thames 400E was made by Ford UK and introduced in 1957. Production continued until September 1965, by which time a total of 187,000 had been built. And very nice they are too!

I had so much fun with this week's Sunday Challenge , which had the theme of selective colouring , that I ended up with several possibles. Here's one of those that didn't get used. This is the interior of the little red fire engine I spotted at the Classics On Show event back in 2013.

The Ford Thames 400E was a commercial vehicle made by Ford of Britain and introduced in 1957. This particular one as you can see though is not your average van. Used by Storthes Hall Hospital Fire Brigade it was based at the psychiatric hospital in West Yorkshire and served as a fully functioning, but very small, fire engine. Once again, not quite what you exect to come across at a classic car show.

Looks standard from a distance, but those rear wheels tell a different story!
