and

Sunbar wrote The W & G apparently refers to the company W and G du Cros which I also know in the 1920s built trucks, buses and ambulances.

In 1920 W&G DuCros was acquired by STD Motors Ltd. but continued to manufacture ambulance chassis under W&G DuCros name.

The Talbot AS70 ambulance was introduced in 1930 (Talbot being part of STD Motors).

This series was made in 1970ish.

If these vehicles had survived from the middle 1920s until then, there is no surprise that they may be still around, but 50 years older. If this was a thirties film, agreed a survivor would be a bit special, but in my knowledge once a vehicle reaches 40 odd years, it is quite likely to reach many more.
