Hello Serge,

See the advertisement of one of the previous owners here: https://sites.google.com/site/elalam...f60l-ambulance

I have seen in personally and this is a very nice unrestored F60L Ambulance. I may have some photos somewhere. The medical equipment is not in the body but otherwise it is complete.

I hope your friend buys it as it deserves a good home.

I think it should be restored, as I know of no other restored examples.

Looks very original - seems to me it would be best to give it a 'tidy up', add the missing components such as the fire ext & bracket that seems to be missing from the engine cover (based on the pattern of holes), and check it over mechanically, ie preservation rather than restoration.

Very nice example.

One day I hope to have mine restored but it’s going to take me years to accomplish! It’s currently all ripped apart and all over the shop. I think I’ve finally collected all the parts I need but just have to find the energy to do it!!!
That ambulance looks to be in very nice shape!
