Yet another version of the Bedford CA van. Like the AA Service Van the St Johns Ambulance was carried on into the new casting without a change in model number. It began life in the split-screen version and continued into the Mk2 single piece windscreen model. The one shown is the later casting but with the earlier wheels so is dateable about half way through the production run.

Ambulances like these in the St Johns livery were a common site at country shows, perhaps there should have been a 'Gymkhana' gift set with the Land-Rover & Horse Box, an ambulance like this, a rider-less horse, a set of jumps and a dressing station.

The Bedford Ambulance was released in November 1957 and after a change in casting remained in the range until 1960. It is always cream with St Johns Ambulance decals however there is a factory error piece known with 'Home Services' labels on the front of the van. Values tend to be good, higher for the later casting with the one-piece windscreen.
