Thanks Clive

I'm now working through the electrical system. Does anyone have a wiring diagram that the can post on here?

Also previous owners have added various switches and to the cab, would anyone have a picture showing an original cab layout for a 1965 series 2a or similar ? The civilian version of the owners manual shows a diagram of all the dials and switches with their respective functions, is there a military equivalent, if so a scan of that would be much appreciated.

Let me know if you need other measurements

Thank you very much, Drew, for the pictures and for the offer of future information. I am sure I'll have a few more questions to ask.

If you are ever up in the far north, i'll give you a set of channels and 2nd row stretcher bearers. Far too heavy to post or courier i'm afraid.

Try Blanchards in York, they have a few scrappers in the yard and won't take the eyes out of you if you go and strip the items out of them sympathetically yourself. :-D

 

Alec.

I'll make sure I give you a shout next time I'm up North, Alec. Might not be for a few years though! :-D Hubby's grandfather came from Keiss so when we do visit Scotland we tend to head in that direction. Will bear Blanchards in mind, thanks for the info.

Thanks for the information, very useful to know. Lola has been virtually gutted by the previous owner so it was interesting to see the photo of the interior.

another question, if I may... can somebody enlighten me and provide the depth and width measurements of the lower stretcher guide sections, please? :-D

ok a couple of pictures of Lola. She has been completely gutted inside and we are looking to restore to at least a reasonable level.

The user handbook for the Rover cargo vehicles (Army Code 22152) was used for the ambulances; however there was a supplement provided for the ambulance, 2/4 stretcher, 4x4 Rover 11 with Army Code 22153. This supplement was quite small as it was intended to replace certain pages in the normal user handbook. I have a copy of this.

 

The list of associated publications are:

Parts List - 20873

Servicing Schedule - 60139*

Technical Handbook - EMER Wh. Vehs. Q 022

 

*Superseded by Army Code No: 60957 which I have a copy of. This is the servicing schedule for Rover mks 3, 5, 6, 7, 8/2, 9/1, 8 &9 FFR, 9 ambulance, 10 & 11 GS FFR and Ambulance, mk1 ½ ton FFR, and the 11 ¼ ton ambulance 2/4 stretcher. Published May 1972.

 

If you get stuck looking for any of these, then give a shout and I will see if I can get them scanned and put on HMVF for all to see.

Hi,

I wonder if these did get scanned and put on here, if so could someone point me in the right direction?

We have recently acquired a mid-60's Land Rover 109 Marshall Ambulance (Rover 9) that has had the rear compartment gutted, we are looking to restore it to original spec if possible. Any manuals or information would be appreciated.

Many thanks

TC

Hi I'm TC

Not only am I new to the forum, I am also new to military vehicle ownership, less than a week new. On Monday I acquired a Series 2a 109 Marshall Ambulance aka Lola. needless to say Lola has been around for some time and it is highly possible that some members of this forum have met her before and know more of her history than I do. I will be investigating her past and as part of that process will probably be asking some rather rookie questions, please bear with me.

Enjoy your day.

TC
