Yes - and that's where the drama starts. @Mystery Man, can you help me by checking if all these are 1995-2000 T1N?

It's all become a bit of a mess with this coachbuilder: Originally known as Wadham Stringer for a long time, the company was bought by Customline in the mid-1990s and they formed the Universal Vehicle Group (UVG). In August 2002, UVG was merged with Modular Ambulances to form UV Modular. (That's the shortened version - the full story is more complicated!)

Conclusion: From the start until August 2002, the HK-Sprinters are UVG-bodied, the facelift II T1N Sprinters are UV Modular. Of course, that goes for all the non-HK UVG/ UV Modular Sprinters as well... :/

By the way: That's how they build these ambulances at UV Modular.

Yes, of course. As it seems they are all 95-00 models, but I'm not 100% sure for this one:

Great, thank you! :king: I will start checking these for UVG-a-bility. The next step will be wading through all these, but that's (yet another) a long time project and I'm not very good at the non-UK bodied Sprinter ambulances, because I never studied them sufficiently. So if you want to join me in that venture, you are very welcome! :D

The full saga of the Sprinter ambulances is going to be an even longer one, and I'm not sure if I would like to open that box... I was actually planning to focus on older Transit and Bedford CF ambulances when I discovered the lack of consistency with the Sprinters this afternoon.

Ok, I'll look for the German and Austrian ambulances and maybe for some others, I even started with that.

Cool! :) I will do this step by step, along with my ongoing projects. Not as Prio A, though, because this honestly is more of a "has to be done" than an "I want!!!" affair. ;)
