My second and most recent purchase is another australian army land rover, but this time a series 2 ambulance. The australian army had 184 series 2 and 2a ambulances delivered.
Of these, 2 were series 2 prototypes, 31 were series 2 ambulances, and the remaining 151 were series 2A ambulances. Mine is one of only 2 of the 31 series 2 vehicles that I know to still exist. I only bought it earlier this year, 2006, and it's going to take me a couple of years to finish, but i'll get there.
The last of the ambulances left service in 1992 after entering service in 1961. From markings i've found in the vehicle it looks like it was one of the very last of these ambulances to leave service.
In the padock where i found her
back home and cleaned up
inside where up to 8 sitting, or 4 stretchered patients could fit.
