This car was believed to have been built by A. H. Peters in the Sydney suburb of Marrickville for use by the Central District Ambulance in Sydney. After being repainted in army green and used as a display piece in a military museum it was acquired by the historical society and repainted to represent the style of vehicle used in Melbourne during the 1940's. The grey colour with white guards was the standard colour scheme for Melbourne ambulances until the mid 1960's. The car now forms part of the collection of the Ambulance Historical Society of Victoria. Taken at the society's museum in Thomastown, Victoria.
