you are correct Andrew it is the remains of an ambulance body. Chassis appears to be 1920's though.

Hi Andrew,
I'm back tracking here a bit, but was that yellow F60S with the Ford 302 in it you found fitted with the original manual gearbox or with a later model auto gearbox? Ryan |

Is any data known on it please? I cannot see that it was ex-British Middle East at this juncture as I thought that all were # 12 cabs, then #13.

Fantastic news, Andrew and congratulations.
David, it was sent directly from Canada for evaluation.

I was hoping that you were going to say that!
![]() I must check my notes but the first approaches were made from Canberra to the DND in Ottawa iun June 1940 about CMPs. I must now look to see if I cna find any evidence of any order placed for evaluation vehicles. It may be that there is no record and this is new history. Is the engine/serial number known please which will pin down its likely build month? Also, when it arrived? Well done ![]() |

Good on ya, seems like the stress of a border raid from ebay was worth it, Good to see it go to a good home where it will reside with other gt,s. Big w/end by the look of it.

This is indeed new history! The engine number indicates May 1940 assembly of the engine, so say June 1940 assembly at the most of the vehicle. This is thus a very early FGT! One of the first in fact. Is anything known about it from the ARN book?

![]() ![]() The dates of acquisition will be of immense value & interest. This may well be re-writing history as I said..and beggars the question as to whether there were any other CMPs imported at the same time? |

AWM 126 is a series of ledgers - you'll need to ask for the right ones. Not sure how things are now but several years ago when I last looked at some they had to be ordered in advance as they were being kept offsite. I'd imagine you'd be able to ask for the one with that particular range of ARNs though.

Correct Keith you can order to view a particular ARN or range on line a fiew days before going to Canberra. For first timers you have to regester as a reasurcher first then order.
![]() When you regester you get a RCIS number this speeds up the ordering of books for research.
