Default C8a hua

Terry,

Congratulations on a great CMP find and recovery. The C8A Ambulance is a rare model. I look forward to checking it out in person.

Unsolicited free advice says you still need a driver HMV while you sort out your new HUA.

Brian

Interesting. The local Princess Auto yard had a similar HUA in the yard years ago. Painted white with the cab area pretty much complete, but the rear body cut down in a very similar manner to yours. I believe it ended up as scrap up in the Selkirk mills.

Any chance you can back check it's history of owners and find any more bits?

David

Default Visit with the HUA

A day trip with Brian Gough to have a look at the HUA. Brian was able to locate the remains of the body data plate still affixed to vehicle and also point out other features that I was not aware of. A great day!
Cheers, Terry.
