The Clements Talbot ambulance, the only wartime ambulance to survive the Blitz, is set for restoration by the London Ambulance Service. Originally in service since 1935 and heavily used during WWII for rescue missions in London, the 90-year-old vehicle has been maintained but cannot currently be driven. The service aims to raise £2,000 for necessary repairs, including a new fuel system and electrical work, in collaboration with the Talbot Owner's Club. Its historical significance is recognized as it has appeared in films and documentaries.
The remarkable Clements Talbot ambulance, which is made of wood and steel, served Londoners during the WWII blitz.
Craig Henty, Head of the London Ambulance Service Historic Collection, said: "We know it has made an incredible contribution to the city, particularly during the war."
