Morris Minor Ambulance?
Many year ago my father was offered a Morris 1000 that had been converted to carry a stretcher. The passenger seat folded down and there was a support for the stretcher where the parcel tray should have been. I supose the stretcher was fed in through the boot and manhandled until it rested on the formentioned supports. I cannot remember whether it was a 2 or 4 door but a 4 door of course would give better access when handling the stretcher. It was a proper conversion but was being sold without the stretcher. I have a vague feeling that the previous owner was The WRVS. I have never seen any reference to a Morris 1000 being used for carrying a stretcher but someone out there may know something. My father turned it down and went on to buy a S/H 4 door Sage Green Morris 1000 from Taylors of Shipston On Stour.

Re: Morris Minor Ambulance?
I cant imagine that being very comfortable for the driver or patient!
The first dedicated Cardiac Ambulance used at The Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast after the portable defib was designed was a traveller, it carried a cardiac doctor and nurse to the scene if an Ambulance crew requested them to attend. I dont think any pictures exsist, but I knew a lady who had been a nurse and attended these calls. The NIAS trust still has a Bedford and a Diamler preserved.
