Hi there, the body was designed and built by the london county council in thier london borough of wandsworth workshops. The lcc also designed the modification to the rear axle using a allard de dion suspension similair to racing cars of the time. |

Thanks Steve, for the extra information about how the 'Wandsworth' description originated. I never considered that they could make their own ambulance versions... I wrongly assumed they probably were built for a Wandsworth/LCC contract. -- Last edit: 2008-11-03 14:43:32 |

Hi Sunbar, I've added comments to similar pages where discussion has taken place regarding 'wandsworths' I'm not sure if I'm using the 'site' correctly but still the info is out there. I found them by searching austin and ambulances. I've been interested in these type of ambulances for years and until the internet came along thought they were 'rare', pictures and information on the net still is, but this site is the best I have found for photos. |
