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
