Do we have any owners of the WADHAM STRINGER BEDFORD AMBULANCE in the BUGA community?

Well, the Wadham Stringer Ambulance I've got was imported into South Africa, from Australia, destined for the then Rhodesia. It never made it there as it overheated en route. It was subsequently abandoned at a garage as the Rhodesian authorities would not pay the salvage fees.
My theory therefore is; If THIS Bedford came from Australia, there may logically still be some more in Aus!

I was away for several months and just started looking at the unread posts.
Wadham Stringer was a UK body building company and made all sorts of Ambulances out of Rovers Austins etc in the south of England.
