I think the registration is "CXB XXX" which suggests London 1935 and I think the ambulance is a cut and shut Buick NA. A lot of large saloon cars were turned into ambulances or trucks at that time, since their owners could not obtain petrol to run them.

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2008-03-25 21:34	You may be right. Cut-away front mudguards are a clue. Hope it wasn't an 851S.
