Mini Cooper.
Using the Mini as an emergency vehicle is nothing new. In the 60s the Mini Cooper was used as a Police car with great effect and there are now six NHS authorities that have MINI Cooper S ambulances.
This unit, seen at the National Mini Cooper Day at Beaulieu on 10 June 2007 is from Portsmouth. The vehicle modifications, equipment and ambulance staff are paid for by Portsmouth pubs and clubs.
The car has a dual role. It is fully capable of completing a Fast Response Unit Role, getting to an emergency before a passenger carrying ambulance. Providing the first emergency care, the FRUs can give the patients a more fighting chance of survival.
