Question for the History Buffs..
Hey Volks,
I have just discovered a fetish for a Split Window Ambulance.. I want one, but dunno about just yet.. ($$)
But if people can tell me about if we had them in Australia, how many were made, where I could possibly find one etc etc, then that would be
fantastic..
Birchall, Becker, Leversha, Surie, Holden, Carter, this all applies to you.. Get ya books out.. 
Thanks in advance :thumb

There was a splitty ambo at the Jambouree. It was ex St. John's. The bloke that owned it drove it from new (or almost) When he retired they
retired the bus as well. Now cop this they GAVE him the bus as a retirement present...better than a gold watch eh? He also dropped the news to me that
ha had one of those "Helfosi" mirror mount spotlights at home in the shed somewhere and he would have to get around to refitting it. He was
a nice bloke as well. I suggested to him that he come up to Sindnee with us for the nationals but he wasn't too keen on that.

Thats right.. Gary Collis also has an imported barndoor too..
Wonder if that St John one would be for sale at some stage.. Maybe he knows a bit more about the history side of it..

I'm not much help really Jim. I remember the one at the Jamboree, but other than in books I dont think I have ever seen another one. What about
the military? did they use them in the 60's.
Dave, as long as Jim hasn;t developed a fetish for wearing Nurses uniforms :jesus

Sedate that man nurse
Same busses Jim about seven (?) years ago. Found in Port Lincoln - the front one was driven to Canberra. Quite crusty
underneath and in the sills and asking price was high even then. Beck's pic is of the one behind in my photo and it looks like its been outside
since then and deteriorated even more. The front one was very complete at that time though - had the partition, blind, fold down seat, helphos spotty
mirror etc etc. I thought a lot about buying them then - but an ambulance just isn't for me.
Daves's right though - if you REALLY want one buy it now - they're won't be any more opportunities. Cry once now rather than cry a lot
in the future. In a few years it WILL be worth more than whatever you pay.........

I actually owned a 54 LHD barndoor ambulance in absoulut rust free mint condition.I bought it about 6 years ago from some country in europe from the
wreckers for $450au.The only time it was out doors was when it was doing its runs or the 2 months when it was outside in the wreckers besides this it
was always under cover.Anyway i towed it back to germany and regreatably sold it about 4 weeks later for a disgusting amount of money.I have these
photos whenit was at the wreckers but i cant find the pics of when i cleaned it up in germany(it really did look like it just rolled out of the
wolfsburg factory).anyway hope you like the pics
