Default Blitz Ambulance

Ok, as most of you know, my knoweldge is in land rovers, not ambulances.

So a question, I know that there are a couple of configurations, and not many about, but really how rare are they??

they are a little more common then rocking horse droppings

There are a few of the F30 version that has the rear body and cab in one piece but until I saw the photo of the seperate rear body recently I had thought that none of that type existed as the rear bodies were wood frames with masonite (like hardboard) over so they did not last long when left out in the weather. This also applies to the Chev/Ford/Dodge etc. conventional Indian Bodied Ambulances as well.

I've heard rumours of one, but if it's anything more than a chassis is yet to be seen.

Niels,

Phoenix was refering to the Australian Pattern CMP Ambulances which are different to the Canadian sorced ones such as you have shown. Very nice Photos though and thank you for sharing.

Max the Chev is on the left and the Ford on the Right. The Chev has a single fuel tank but the Ford does look like it has twin tanks though. Photo is a little dark to see properly.

Not so rare that the DAK didn't use them.
