Ambulance camper conversion

**landychris** · 19th February 2012, 04:55 PM

Hi all. I was told today about a recent article in an Australian 4WD magazine (say in the last six months or so) covering a camper conversion with a Land Rover ambulance. The person however was not sure of the month or publication. All he could tell me was the publication came with a dvd featuring "Roothy" and one of his trips. I understand the article was over a couple of pages in length. I guess that could be Overlander or perhaps Australian 4WD Action. Could anyone help?

I suspect it might be this vehicle.

Another butchered ambo

Thanks korg0000bc for the quick reply. I believe the colour was green and the conversion was with a landy that was part Series 3 stage 1 with a 2a ambulance body.

Roothy is in Aust 4WD Action. A quick Google found this: TASSIE DEVIL | Australian 4WD Action so that gives the builder's name.

See also Landrover 110 camper It's not a green one, though.

Amazing what Google will find.

Thanks Ron. Went there first but did not have much luck. I know AULRO has great wealth of information, and much better than Google

Hi Landychris,
The owner/builder of the 2a ambo body on 110 chassis is Callum Blackhall- the same guy as the named in the Disco conversion article.
I'm not sure what colour it might be now but I was there as he working on it and it was white and blue as per the photo. I believe that the original ambo body was white as it had done UN service.

Sorry, it's Boxer (Mark) who works at the mag (he drives a Disco). PM him - he may be able to help.

Callum is back in Tassie now and the ambo should be back later in the year after a trip though Siberia and Mongolia. It now has an Exo and all sorts of other mods!
If you want any details on it let me know and I'll pass your details on to Callum

Thanks to all for the information. I am still not sure if this was Ambo he was talking about. He said it was a 2a body on a Series 3 Stage one. Windows cut in the side, green and with a white top.
