Pick'n'mix. This is the only view but happy to open separate pages for each one which can be ID'd. 1] DOC 186 = May-June 1937 2] BXP or BXR 619 both = spring 1935 3] BYW = 1935 (or BTW = late 1934) - looks the most interesting??? 4] CAE - late 1935 into Jan 36 Also interesting that while they seem to have chopped anything they could get their hands on, the ambulance compartments look like a standard item for the first 3 cars in the row - so not a rabble of home-made sheds, but something produced systematically. Any info on who did them?? |

#1 is a 1937 UK Ford (22hp?). #2 is a 1935 US style (UK built?) Ford and #4 is a 1936 US style (again I guess UK built?) Ford. #3 is a mystery. It looks a lot like a 1934 Chrysler with a 1934 Dodge front bumper but there are several things which make me think it is not. It appears to have only four bonnet strips (the Chrysler CA had five), and even though the styling is very American I can't help thinking it is not American. The bonnet top is lower than those of the Fords. |

The base of #3 looks like a '35 Renault Vivastella to me. |

Yes certainly looks like a circa 1935 Vivastella - the same radiator, four bonnet strips, the front bumper and the twin wipers above the windscreen. Link to "www.forum-auto.com" I guess this would have been a rarity in the British ambulance fleet. |

Seems our first UK Vivastella of any type - let alone an ambulanced one. Not sure what name was used here - one book has small combined paragraph for Vivasix/Vivastella 1933-35 in several body styles. Glass's has nothing named Vivastella, but a sequence of - "Six (Twenty-One)" 3180cc Jan 33 to May 34 [PG7/8 and PG9/10 - no info on the differences], - "Six (Twenty-Four)" 3620cc May 34 [YZ2/ZA2] and Sept 34 [YZ4/ZA3], and finally - "Six (Twenty-Seven)" 4085cc Oct 35 until Oct 1939 [starting as ACX2, then Oct 36 BCT1/ACX3, Apr 37 BCY1/BCX1/ADB with new recessed headlamps, "acutely pointed" top corners of radiator shield, and perforated disc wheels, Oct 38 BDV1/BDX1 "horizontal slat radiator grille, previously vertical"]. Switching between our collection and codes, maybe Six (Twenty-One) was Vivasix, Six (Twenty-Four) was Vivastella, and Six (Twenty-Seven) was Viva Grand Sport??? Have entered this as Vivastella [Type ZA3] because we have one [Type ZA3] already and it seems the only 1935-ish match in our collection of saloon bodies to a Glass's code. But open to comment from any Renaultists as I'm stumbling blindly in a strange world ... |
