Herald & Vitesse
Mr Robbins put down the phone, he was the chief officer at a Birmingham ambulance station, he donned his reflective jacket and jumped in his car on his way to a major incident on the nearby M6, blue light on, siren on, two-way radio crackles into life with an update from the control room.
He is having trouble getting through the traffic, no one was taking any notice of his emergency vehicle which left him wondering why? He eventually arrived on scene, played his part in the emergency and returned to the station, after chatting with the station officer they came to the decision that the Royal Blue 1200 Herald saloon wasn’t really up to the job! My Hillman Minx (Peggy Sue) was slowly grinding to a halt, once in the middle lane of the Infamous Spaghetti Junction. I was a fresh face 20 year old rookie ambulanceman, desperately needing reliable transport to get to start early and late shifts, I saw the Herald, fell in love with its shape and shiny dark blue paint work. A loan from my father in law and for £275 cash money I was the new owner VMF439G.
