I suspect it may well have been involved in a prang, then shoved to the back of the storage area and forgotten about until now!

That said, it would be great if someone bought it and rebuilt it.

I think I herd once that there was an 101 ambulance (I think) still technicly in service for rescue training,   in the bottem of a flooded quarry and used for diver training.  If there is one there I can't emagine they'd ever bother demobbing it to sell, though theres probubly little point keeping the reg docs on the book eather, that said the army do some funny things.

there's a vampire still technically in service too, as part of a 3 vehicle crib.

Also there's an ambi being used as an ambi at some base or other.

I'd have thought the window grilles would be to deal with unfriendly reactions from the locals in some areas of Northern Ireland?

Anyone trying to film a post-apocalyptic adventure with zombies could do a lot worse than to buy a handful of those and repaint them. They already look pretty mean!

I know a man that bought one on a whim about nine months ago and has expressed an interest in selling it.
Drop me a PM if you are still looking for one.

Thought there was something different about it, it was known as a jumbulance, not neccesarily mil use, seen these for transporting various invalid/disabled people from kids to pensioners to holidays, basically a rolling hospital ward

God they've been round a while then now. It was back in the early 80s when I remember them
They were used to bring kids over to germany for holidays, and often used to be on camp there, the kids were dispersed round the families in the area for a holiday with them

Good to see them still in use, if a later version to what I remember but they still look the same
