Austin Morris EA Ambulance In The Woods (1)

The remains of a circa early 1970s British-built Austin-Morris EA public service ambulance w/ bodywork by ‘Wadham Stringer’ coachbuilders, sitting abandoned and neglected in the woods on a country lane near Darlington, County Durham, U.K. The body was made entirely of fibreglass, and every other non-plastic component on this vehicle has long since been removed. All that remains is this bare cracked bodyshell, which after being decommissioned as an ambulance used to be painted light blue (as a mobile grocer shop), and has now deteriorated to “hearing aid beige” bare exposed fibreglass. The vehicle has been siting in this exact same spot for decades.

 

Examples of abandoned classic vehicles in the wilderness such as this one have become an increasingly rare sight in the United Kingdom nowadays. However, as these pictures prove, they still exist out there in the year 2025.
