Here is a unique 1941 Packard Henney Ambulance. probably the only one outside of the States. This is the real thing. The Packard was based in the 1940's at Muroc Army Air Force base in the Mojave Desert. California. better known now as Edwards Air Force base where the Shuttles landed. The the 40's Muroc was a where most test flying was done. Chuck Yeager broke the speed of sound there in 1947. and the famous X- 15 programme was there in the fifties. So was the Packard.

The Packard is really a resto rod. original on top but all the mechanicals are modern. a great combination. The engine is 350 Cu in Chevrolet with a new 700 R4 automatic box. new driveshaft. new Ford 9" rear end. new power steering and disc brakes. new front and rear suspension. All the glass and rubbers are new. It starts on the button. and stops on a dime.

The previous owner is a renowned expert at restoring dashboards. Every piece was individually made from epoxy to replicate the original. It took over 400 hours to complete.  

I have driven the Packard and can vouch that it drives. stops and handles brilliantly. even more incredible when you realise it's 21 feet long! From the outside you have no idea that this beast can do 100 mph safely. This car is a true one off. a very usable classic. immensely practical. especially if you have a lot of friends. The interior is huge. It would make a fabulous historic race hauler. and even has a tow hook fitted. Can you imagine showing up in this beast at a VHRA meeting with a vintage racer on the hook?

It is now registered in the UK and has a V5. Tun key. drive it away. I have several vehicles arriving from the US in the near future and need the room. so make me a reasonable off. I can only say No thanks.
