ESSEX Fire and Rescue Service wants to find a wacky fleet of vehicles for an annual fundraiser.

From Ferraris to milk floats, diggers to hearses and buses to tanks, the fire and rescue service will accept them all.

The strange and unusual vehicles are needed to help create a Ladies' Drivers Challenge, which will see women drivers testing their driving skills across the entire fleet.

The challenge will take place at North Weald airfield on Sunday, July 13, and will raise money for firefighters' charities.

Participants will drive a wide variety of vehicles throughout the day, finding out if they have got what it takes to get behind the wheel of a big rig or a super-charged sports car.

Christine Connor, who is helping to organise the event, said: "Last year we had 100 entrants and raised £10,000."

All vehicles loaned will be driven at reasonable speeds on a track and each will be fully insured up to a value of £25,000.

If you have a vehicle you think might be suitable, call Christine on 01277 222531 ex 2219.
