1941 Austin Army Ambulance

[serge]

Hello every body

Last week , a friend invite me in a garage and behind a big lot of doors and woody pieces there was an AMBULANCE "as new".
The woody body is complete in very good state and "the lady" sleept in this garage since 40 years. Even the canvas on doors are presents and in good state It is not easy to take some pic and the owner hope cut the truck in the aim to have more place!!!!!.
The only problem is that the truck should be completely dismounted to be outed fron the garage.
You can contact me in the aim to save this truck. (I am not interressed because I own 4 military vehicles and I have no more place to restore it).

Regards SERGE

Radek, I also looked on in amazement at your rescue via HMVF. Well done. Nothing ventured, nothing gained is so true in this case.

It is an old thread when Tony Smith asks what the "L" stands for.
