Old Ambulance
Found this old ambulance in a hedge recently and only now got to go back to take some pictures. The registration (i got scraped to bits getting to it) is XIE 827 which I think refers to Belfast City. Does anyone have any information on the registration, type of ambulance is is/was and what branch of the service it served in ? It has a circular logo on the side, now long faded.
Gertie, 1962 Saloon, Milly, 1969 Traveller (ex APL 971H) and now KAS 1958 4 Door Saloon.

Re: Old Ambulance
I'm guessing from the shape of the cab door that its a Bedford CF but no knowledge of other history...

Re: Old Ambulance
I was pretty sure that XIE isn't Northern Ireland as its not fimiliar to me, after a quick google its looks like its County Clare
Too many Minors so little time.....
Re: Old Ambulance
Certainly looks like an early Bedford CF with the same bodywork as the fire and rescue one shown on this page perhaps (scroll down)iandromiskin wrote:
