Here you are finding some old pictures from my own ambulance who is in restoration.
I bought the ambulance about 12 years ago. Because I didn't have the time to restore it, I put the ambulance away in an old bargain.
At the beginning of 1998 I started to rebuilt and restorate the ambulance at my service. One of my ambulancedrivers has worked a lot of time on the ambulance. There were a lot of parts of the ambulance which had to be replaced by new parts like the wheelcases at front. In meantime I self restorated inside the ambulance. Repainted the inside, new carpets and cleaning. There were also put an old oxygene machine in it an other old material. The ambulance has also two blue lights on the roof and a sirene,(three airhorns). The engine of the ambulance is still very good. There were put on some new tires. There were some parts missing but I did find them. The ambulance has on old radio system on board to communicate with a dispatcher.
In the end of 1998 I hope that the ambulance is clear to get some some test by the goverment so that the ambulance is ready to drive. In september 1998 the car is be repainted in his own colour. The ambulance is finished and is ready. This summer I will go riding with it. I have also on board an old defibrillator from 1972. The ambulance is totally complete and finished.
Here are some details from the ambulance.
Mercedes Benz 230 Long ambulance

Was first at service at Van der Slik - Zoetermeer . After his time at Zoetermeer he was sold to a Psychiatric Hospital at Santpoort. When he was to old they sold it back to the factory and then I bought it.
