240 General: - Ever a 245 4WD?

jmz · Nov 14th, 2010, 02:04

Was there ever a 245 that was four wheel drive?

I have searched the internet to try and prove an arguement that I once saw one but cannot find any evidence.

I have seen conversions which have basically put the body onto a donor engine chassis etc., yet was there anything before the new breed of Volvo 4x4s?

I have actually driven one! Sugga translates as sow in Swedish, which is appropriate as they are a complete pig to drive compaired to the forward control C300 series.
