240 camper conversion?

Triple-S · Apr 18th, 2015, 15:40

Years ago I can remember seeing a picture of an early 240 with a "living box" on the back like a camper. Has anybody seen one, are there any about and who made them (if not a private creation).

There was of course the 145 "Express" and some of these were made as a van. A Google search brings up quite a few as "Volvo 245 Express" Some look rather nice! Don't know haw many actually came out of the factory like that.

Roof extended all the way to the screen on this one. You could wear a top hat in that.

That looks like a hearse conversion - if so, "Express" would be rather ironic!

A great vehicle (must have one ... better than a hearse body)! Though I don't suppose any survive in fair condition.

Here's a similar - with raised roof - on buzzybee: http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-ZMILBV44.jpg & http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-UEU3TUDO.jpg.
