Semi-forward cab with 2 seats, rear hinged doors and a sliding side door. Tissier hydraulic suspension. In excellent condition and beautifully restored. Vehicle sold without an MOT or any form of warranty. Fittings: - Two stretchers and three seats, comprising: a mobile stretcher unit on the left-hand side, an attendant’s seat, a stretcher folded against the right-hand wall, and a three-seater bench; - Insulated and laminated interior lining; - Marine-grade plywood floor with bonded non-slip carpet; - One window on each side of the vehicle and one window connecting to the cab; - Fittings: cupboard, drawers, washbasin with water reservoir. - A two-tone audible warning device. - One adjustable front spotlight and one rear spotlight. Provenance: - Lamballe Fire Station, Côtes d’Armor; - Jean-Claude Picot Collection in Beaune, Côte d’Or. Documents supplied: - Vehicle registration document; - FFVE certificate for obtaining a ‘classic car’ registration certificate; - Maintenance log detailing all work carried out (approximately 318 hours); - File of invoices. In the quest to ensure the comfort of casualties whilst being transported by road, the hydropneumatic suspension already fitted to Citroën models represented a significant advance. This VSAB on a Citroën C35 is mounted on a rear tandem axle, which considerably reduces the jolts felt inside the vehicle. The body can be lowered hydraulically to ground level to allow easier access to the rear. This conversion was carried out by Tissier at the request of the Lamballe Fire Brigade. The rear wheels are those of the Austin Mini.
