1979 Dennis RS fire engine (preserved) driving on the M4 in Dublin during April 2007. This vehicle has a Perkins V8-540 engine and an Allison MT643 automatic gearbox and was new in May 1979. This appliance is a beast of a machine to drive and is very fast, particularly for an appliance of its age (almost 30 years old). The gearbox, for whatever reason, is very "frantic" and is very hard to keep in high gear, it wants foot-to-the-floor all the time, otherwise it will keep changing down all the time for maximum acceleration. Due to the traffic conditions it's 180 bhp Perkins V8 engine is not done justice in the video, however it makes a good video of an in-traffic road scene.
