My old Queensland Ambulance
#1
I meant to email Steven Harris along time ago to show him some photos but I thought I will post here. He might log on and have a read.

It is a 1985 XF Falcon that was originally a wagon ( that is why it has four doors) , the Ambulance service purchased it new and converted it. They were used at rural locations in the Queensland outback. I found it at a garage sale. Luckily I knew of another one locally and finally convinced the owner to sell it and I have used it as a donor. The donor has a fair bit of rust but nothing that couldn't be fixed if we wanted to put it back on the road.

I have owned it for about a year and a half now. Back in March after having it for around 12 months and the furthest I had been in it was around 200km round trip I decided I would drive it to the 40th anniversary for Mad Max 2 movie which was held at the town where the movie was filmed (Silverton). It ended up being just over 3000km round trip. I was nervous as the car hadn't been looked after before I got it but it was awesome and the only thing that broke was the drivers outside door handle. I camped in it, it was a great trip. Here's some photos in no particular order.
