--- Five new tyres ---
--- Two new batteries ---
--- 12 Volt socket (for sat-nav for example) ---
--- This vehicle was damaged by military personnel during decommissioning: running board unsoldered, rear bench mounting tubes cut with an angle grinder, stretcher fixings removed, straps.... Everything was left on the ground ---

--- Consequently, given the rarity of this vehicle, and its good overall presentation: no corrosion, in good working order (but at its own pace!) and comparing it to the "piles 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, that it is not being sold to raise funds for the purchase of another asset: car, house, or holidays... etc., that I am in no rush to sell it, that I am not looking to get rid of it at any price, and consequently, it will not be given away ---
--- Finally, it is pointless to post 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 ---
