Pete Ashby Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Rare sad remains of a 1940 Dagenham built Ford RO1T Ambulance http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-WW2-American-Ford-V8-Truck-Petrol-Possible-Pilot-Rat-Hotrod-Project-/260970810217?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3cc3128b69 Yes I saw that as well Nick, very rare, dare I say unique and just on the cusp of being feasible as long as the frame is still mostly there, my son David was showing interest but his workshop and some of my barns are stuffed full of similar projects so it will have to go to some other brave soul I think. As a matter of interest am I right in thinking that they arrived from the US as chassis cabs and were bodied at Dagenham like Woc 1s?

Pete If you scroll down and read all the notes from the V8 owners club it apparently was assembled at Dagenham as LHD from Dearborn made parts, then bodied by Briggs motor bodies destined for Romania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
