Z5822762, 43XB01
Canadian War Museum, Ottawa, Ontario A small number of prototypes were built with extended side armour to serve as Armoured Ambulance and Armoured Command Post. The first C15TAA Ambulance (one of only two built) served with the RAMC both in the UK and West Berlin, until demobbed and sold in May 1958. It disappears to a junk yard and the remains are eventually rescued in 1977 by John Marchant. It took a lot of research and hard work but by 1985 it is restored. John later sells it to the CWM.

Near
Perth
In Great Britain, a handful of C15TAs seems to have (just) survived the rigours of post-war civvy street. Wheels & Tracks once featured the example shown left: this much modified example was fitted a snow plough, rear jib and diesel engine. It had "350 mm play at the steering wheel" and was photographed about 20 miles from Perth. Sten Boye Poulsen later came up with the colour picture.

It was registered as PKX 412 in Buckinghamshire in 1952. By 1990 Preston had rescued and transformed it back to original.

"HANG

Malacca "On permanent display in Malacca, Malaysia, is a variety of relics of the past, including railway stock, aircraft and armoured vehicles. Freshly repainted in dark blue, they were used by the Royal Malaysian Police during the emergency (communist armed revolt, 1948-60) providing armoured protection for personnel, troops, VIPs, etc. The GM C15TA (now on 9.00-16 boots) was popularly known as the 'JMC' (for the GMC engine perhaps?). Like the Ford Lynx on display it has some interesting structural mods." (Source: Wheels & Tracks No.42 and No.56, p.15) |

Historic Cavalry Collection, Amersfoort After being struck off charge, this C15TA spent decades outside as a gate guard, awaiting its turn to be restored in the late 1980s. It sports post-war RNlA markings and it is driven regularly by the museum's volunteers at events. Several more C15TAs are preserved by collectors in Holland and Belgium (one by a vet who used to drive one in Indonesia). |

Roald Roozendaal, Gorssel Hull s/n 1147; civil registration NB-93-27 Acquired in a very dilapidated condition from a Dutch scrapyard in 1984. Even the chassis was badly damaged. Parts were obtained from many sources, as it happened even from Malaysia. Most of the 'tinwork' had to be refabricated. Restoration was completed by 1989, when it was driven to Normandy on it's first outing where it was pictured by Dirk Leegwater (who's peeking around the corner from the driver's seat).

Oud
Previously owned by the late Tom Bowman, of Albany Transport, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. Many years ago Tom recovered it from Shap (a particularly bad area of the main road between England and Glasgow near the Scottish border) where it had been used as a light wrecker. He had it in Gateshead and restoration was started about 1990. When Tom died about 1995, his collection was sold off. Jakob plans to start the restoration and the end of 2002, but is in need of the two driver's hatches, a rear door with hinges, and a piece of checker plate floor before he can start.
