A super find for £1 at a nearby second hand store, with the flags intact. I am overjoyed to find it.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I found it funny to find the same dead/injured guy in there as was in the VW van... they keep moving him to new vehicles! ![]() It even sits well besides the Matchbox Citroen DS, which is also one of my favourite castings (well, it is one of my favourite cars, also!) ![]() A very glamorous model of a very glamorous car. Highly recommended to any who do not have it already!

Wow ! Only 1 £ for this Currus ambulance is a real bargain actually. The real ambulance was a very limited production compared to others DS ambulances. |

Oh thank you for this information! I did not know the name of the coach builder. This is fascinating information. |

Well, if it can help. In the past, I interrogate myself on this bodycar type which is different and unseen from usual DS ambulances I've seen in my chilhood. So I just had a search on DS ambulances as I also did concerning most of unknown 3 inches diecast cars. |

I found the website http://citrowagon.fr/ which was very helpful for history and photos, too - there is a treasure trove of information! |

Guess the VW was taking too long to get him to the hospital, and they needed something faster.Great find, Congrats! I have only one myself, though I'm not sure right now if it has the same decals or something else. |

That is in incredible good shape - great to see it still has the flags intact. and the information on the coach builder is awesome - I always just assumed it was a DS model.
