It's not 9V as it's air, all you need is an air compressor

Yeah, duh! I am gonna give these a go, compressors aren't exactly rare and I think the switch can be got from Emergency Supplies.

The wheel arches are part of the bodywork, it's all fibreglass. Cutout? Windows? :?

Ah right! The cutout is a bit essential, it's a bit of a step up without it.

Still haven't heard back from the amby preservation lot, very disappointing, specially seen as they have one of Belle's sisters.

I was reading in an ebay listing for an amby a while ago that the seller was using the amby 'on duty' at rally cross meets twice a year, to satisfy the requirements to keep the classification as an ambulance. Anybody know about this? Is there some kind of minimum 'duty' time as an ambulance an ambulance should do?
