C8A Ambulance - For Trade or Sale
 

I am seriously considering parting with what I believe to be the only restored example of a C8A IC3 bodied ambulance.

This vehicle has a well documented pedigree and was owned at one time by Bart Vanderveen in the late 60's. Manufactured on 14 September '43 it was totally restored by myself over a four year period to its full combat configuration. It is complete down to the last detail including stretcher frame, stretchers and medical kit. Has featured in a number of magazines and is a prize winning vehicle.

I Would consider exchange against a restored early Canadian contract slat grilled Jeep but by all means contact me either for more details or to discuss options and extras. I am currently only advertising via Maple Leaf Up as I would prefer it to be kept in the hands of a Canadian vehicle purist. I am under no pressure to sell and it will complete the Normandy tour next year before going out to a wider audience if I recieve insufficient interest.

The two photos posted were taken at Beltring this year by the Classic Military Vehicle photographer

Apologies, the photo's I was going to use were too big for the system. Quality of attached is not quite so good, but I can direct you too a number of publications with photo's/articles if required.

Gives an indication of interior set up, I apologise for quality I can assure you the real thing looks slightly better.

I have seen Ian's Ambulance and it is a stunning vehicle!
Ian, how about taking my F15A in exchange? :D

Support Appreciated
 

Cheers Hanno, thanks for the added information. If you carry on like this I will owe you a commission fee should it get sold!

Ian ;)

You can't get it any better than this
 

Folks, this is probably the finest CMP restoration I've ever seen, bar none, and unique to-boot. I'd buy it myself without further thought if I had the cash.

My pleasure, Ian - anything to find this beautiful truck a new home!

As advertised in the Medium Vehicles For Sale section at MilWeb:

HUA gone to new home
 

Thanks for all your interest in the vehicle and you will be pleased to know it has now gone to a good home. Nick Bullock came and did the deal the previous weekend and drove it home some 200 miles to join his growing collection of C8A's and C8.

I have replaced the HUA with another very interesting vehicle being a Ford WOC1.

Ian ;)
