Description
--- FOR SALE (health reasons) ---
--- SAVIEM Renault Ambulance TP3 L39 from February 1972
--- Registered as a classic vehicle (MOT due July 2030) ---
--- 12, 300 km on the odometer (very likely not 112, 300 km, judging by the vehicle's condition) ---
--- This Ambulance is equipped with a petrol engine, type 817-04, producing 73 bhp. ---
--- It belonged to the 1st Medical Regiment of the French Army based in METZ (57). ---
--- Regiment established in 1992 and disbanded in 2011: Motto: "Everywhere for everyone". ---
--- In the black square on the front and rear bumpers near the roof rack:
--- The white cross is the symbol of the Armed Forces Medical Service (SSA) ---
--- The inscription GM 1 CA corresponds to a unit: GM = Medical Group and 1 CA = 1st Army Corps ---
--- Purchased in August 2025, at 10, 500 km, in Burgundy - Franche Comté, from a repair workshop manager, who had acquired it from a collector in Moselle ---
--- At purchase: ---
--- Engine oil and filter change carried out, five new tyres and two new batteries, 12 Volt socket (for sat-nav for example) ---
--- This vehicle was "badly treated" by the military when decommissioned: running board unsoldered, rear bench mounting tubes cut with an angle grinder, stretcher fixings removed, straps.... Everything left on the ground ---
--- For sale: ---
--- Fixed air leak in the braking system by replacing a perforated hose ---
--- Repairs using new mechanical parts: ---
--- Replacement of the carburettor (SOLEX Raip 40) + fuel filter ---
--- Replacement of the ignition: Complete distributor, wiring harness, spark plugs (except coil) ---
--- Replacement of the radiator + heater radiator and cabin heater valve + thermostat ---
--- Securing of the rear benches and running board ---
--- Replacement of the exhaust outlet pipe ---
--- Consequently, given the rarity of this vehicle, and its generally good presentation: no corrosion, in good working order (but at its own pace!) and comparing it to the "heaps of scrap" on classified ad sites (if you can find any!), I am offering it for sale for the sum of €11, 900
--- I should clarify that I am not a collector but simply an enthusiast for this type of vehicle ---
--- Likewise, in order not to waste time for either seller or buyer, let me be clear that this Ambulance is obviously not the household's main vehicle, it is not being sold to raise funds for the purchase of another asset: car, house, or holidays... etc, I am in no rush to sell it, I am not looking to get rid of it at any price, and consequently, it will not be given away ---
--- Finally, there is no point posting unpleasant comments from uninterested parties, know-it-alls and other Sunday experts ---
--- First contact by email ---
--- Viewable in Haute Vienne (30 km North/ East of LIMOGES (87) ---
--- Thank you for your attention ---
