Plate is CTP 325 which suggests this ambulance was used as a "mobile diphteria immunisation unit" as seen here (scroll down a bit).

Portsmouth September 1942 to April 1946... However the Glass' index dsl posted a while ago shows that the plates issued between 292 and 634 out of that combination was issued in 1945, making this a '45 car.

It is possible that it may originally have had a military registration, and then received a civilian number.

Amazing survivor as looks to be same vehicle and bodywork as in diptheria immunisation article.
Lots of local authorities received war surplus Austin K2 ambulances after the war and some rebodied them.

Not really a survivor. The photo was taken in the "early 1950s", and the film was made in 1955.

Fair enough I never looked at date and thought the film was much more recent.
