I supposed this type of front end was commonly adopted to Diesel versions. The one from the link seems to be a sort of "special" version with lots of chrome trim ( and even a rear wiper ) not usually seen in Transit vans. |

Grille says diesel; perhaps the red preserved Trannie has had an engine transplant. Although ambulances are usually equipped with poky big blocks. -- Last edit: 2007-05-18 00:06:28 |

If the main photo is the same vehicle as the others photos on this website with the registration SJA 374T, then it has Lomas bodywork. -- Last edit: 2010-04-07 02:33:32 |

As a member of St John Ambulance in the 1970s, I often drove this Transit Ambulance. Seeing this picture brings back fond memories.With a 3 litre V6 engine and automatic transmission it was a pleasure to drive. It was a prototype demonstrator from, I believe, a company called Hanlon, possibly built in Ireland. |

Hello silvervanman. Did the vehicle you mention above have rear doors that opened sideways as in most ambulances, or a single door that lifted up and down like in the smaller photo on this page? I suspect that St John may of transferred this special Reg plate from one vehicle to another. Regards Ambfan. -- Last edit: 2010-04-07 02:48:13 |

/vehicle.php?id=694796 , /vehicle.php?id=66545 (thumbs) Probably not a coincidence that St Johns Ambulance vehicle had SJA plate; the SJA combination from Manchester was not a normal issue with T suffix. |
