      Dennis Fire Engine DS151

      The Dennis DS series, produced by Dennis Specialist Vehicles from 1979 to the early 1990s, was a compact fire engine featuring a tilting cab. It closely resembled the Dennis RS/SS series in terms of both appearance and mechanics, but had a shorter wheelbase. This design was specifically targeted towards fire brigades operating in narrow rural areas where larger fire engines would be impractical.

      Several fire brigades utilized the Dennis DS, including Devon, Cheshire, Hertfordshire, Durham County, and the Dublin Fire Brigade. Notably, North Yorkshire and Hampshire fire brigades acquired eight DS models between 1987 and 1989, each fitted with HCB Angus bodies.  View experiences here

                Collision Damage Waiver For 1 Car

                One of our most Popular products available for obvious reasons!! Buying this waiver gives you full peace of mind that you can relax and fully enjoy your drive knowing you won’t be picking up the bill if anything goes wrong..

                Supercars are super amazing but can be super expensive to fix should anything get damaged. This collision damage waiver transfers the liability of the £5000 excess from the customer driving to ourselves so should anything go wrong on the day there will be no unpleasant expensive surprises.

                In-Car Filming 1 Car

                The ideal way to capture your memories - When you show & share this with your family & friends, it will be as if they are in the car with you !!

                Similar to how you may have seen on Top Gear, you are filmed live with audio throughout your drives with cameras facing both the driver and the track recording your reactions as you accelerate and hit those top speeds

                There are also bonus features that can record the following; GPS showing position on track F1 style, G-force showing the power of the acceleration, and the all-important bragging rights of the speedometer and the footage is saved to an SD Card for your convenience.

                No words can describe how fantastic it is to look back on driving your first Ferrari or to see your Dad’s face when he finally gets to drive the car of his dreams.. worth every penny…
