 Also known by the Corgi die cast scale model. According to my sources, the body was done by Hooper.

 Quote from the Model Collector Magazine website: 'There are several toys available of the Daimler DC27 ambulance, although probably the best known is that from Dinky Toys, first released in 1950: it exists in both civilian and military versions. Other toys ranges that included this ambulance are Matchbox '1 - 75', Benbros, Budgie, Tri-ang Minic (push and go) and Zebra Toys.'
I thought it wasn't Corgi.

 Here´s the Corgi version http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/540_1_1002679.html also stating what I´m going to correct here: Many sources of the internet list these bodies as being made by Hooper, but otherwise you will mostly find Barker & Co being credited for these ambulances. Plausible reason of this popular confusion might be, that Hooper once had bought out Barker, before both companies were bought out together a few years later. I came to the conclusion Barker & Co were the real makers of these bodies.

Please delete "Hooper" and make it a "Barker & Co." instead.

 RLR plates issued London June 55 - Jan 56 "in blocks". Actually this is a Hooper because of single horizontal waist moulding - Barker had twin lines.

 In answer to the Hooper/Barker conundrum.

Hooper bought Barker in 1938. BSA bought Hooper “during the war”. So you might say that all the DC27s were bodied by BSA, as they were the holding company apparently until Hoopers ceased business. It also explains the association with Daimler, which was also part of the BSA Group.
