You can buy all that stuff. Some years ago I had an old Bedford J series Ambulance, the horns did not work, popped down the ambulance garage, they recognised it, had been one of theirs, and gave me some new ones. :y

Well, the wiring harness seems to still be in place for em - there's a button next to the handbrake which I assume used to operate them.  It took the live feed from the F14 wire to the ciggie lighter (which I have since repatriated to its correct location for sat nav purposes), but I'm sure it's nowt a bit of soldering can sort.

Could be very interesting - for show purposes/OOF Meets only obviously!  ;)

Well, she was one of Bristol's finest unmarked jobbies, so battenberg might look a bit funny on her (she's dark met blue)

My old boss bought an Ambulance! It was labeled up and had the two tones, strobes the lot still! All working too...

Was such a laugh one night going home! I was following him with lights going and sirens every now and then  ;D

(Was on a 'private' road of course  ::))

 ;D ;D

Ahh, them were the days - you couldn't get away with doing owt like that these days without expecting to end up doing a bit of bird...  :-[  :(

But me last Miggy was white, which was great fun on the motorway.  Used to have spells of cruising at 60mph in the inside lane - the kids used to find it hillarious to see Beemers, Audi's etc in the outside lane slam on when they saw us  :D
