Not wishing to go through this all again, it may have had "Ambulance"
written on it somewhere, but it was an estate car

Albeit one with blue lights flashing merrily on the roof, green
battenburg markings, clear markings and a uniformed paramedic behind the
wheel.

Was it ever established that the blue lights were indeed flashing? I'm
not trying to make excuses for anyone, but even flashing lights means
very little these days - because the are used in too many situations
where they aren't appropriate. Horns, however, might be different.

What we do know is that from the front there are virtually no markings
visible (although similar vehicles in other places do have gaudier
markings).
