Emergency Transport Technology build the SAAS units :wink:

Sorry ETT only produced a small number of emergency ambulances for SAAS during the inception of the 312 Sprinter (early model with square headlights), and the ATS fleet.

All current model ambulances are manufactured by Mader.

The Ultimate Book of Fire Engines and Firefighting - By Neil Wallington
Its a great book on fire fighting evolution from bucket chains to now. Also has a comprehensive listing of appliance manufacturers from around the world.
I think theres only two or three manufacturers mentioned by SA Firey that arent in the book. I got mine for about $40 from angus and robertson...
