Has this been discussed?

Another beat down vintage bus.
I'd like to see the lower half of those seats!

...if that 'perforated' thing in the middle looks like the one on next picture, and if on top of the Bus, it has the scoop like on the second picture here, then it's normal on an early Ambulance!!
...it looks like the 'air-freshener' on the picture from that Uruguay BD is different from the picture here above, but the Uruguay picture is not clear enough to be sure about this one, more pics please? (ps: both pictures I posted now, were posted in Gallery before by Silky... hope he doesn't mind using them?) |

Im talking about the headliner material.
the ambo roof vent appears to be slightly different. The holes are round and smaller than the oblong holes in other ambo vents. ??

ok, now I see what you mean by 'perforated' ...the holes in that headliner, right!! ...and you're also right about the round holes in the vent... |

Headliner is reminiscent of an Ambulance service bus, not a full blown ambulance, but to ambulance specs, without the divider. Not seen very often!!

streetwagens, you wouldnt have any further information on these 'Ambulance service buses' do you, am particularly interested in researching this further. Any old pictures would be great!

Hi Folks ,
I just purchased this beat down bus .
Its been in the UK for a while and I have just taken delivery from the previous owner .
I am trying to resist the temptation to tear into it as I have a few other projects ahead of it in the queue - ( 64 21 window , 52 zwitter )
I will start a little build thread and update pictures when I can .
I am bound to have loads of stupid questions as this is the first barn door I have owned , Already confused and thats just with the seats , it has front middle and rear , all matching
For the record the headliner certainly looks to be factory and is in very good condition , the same material is used on the trim of the doors and the side pieces at the rear .
The roof vent is indeed the same as that pictured above and has the internal vent structure intact .
cheers Jon |
