Interesting Volvo...

Came across this in my newsfeed on the phone. Now I can’t stop trying to find one for sale!

Great find. I love it.

You'll find far more pictures of them than ones for sale, but while you're searching it will give you time to save up as they don't come cheap. I became aware of them years ago and thought that would be the coolest Volvo in the car park, but head overruled heart on the budget so I stopped tormenting myself with the idea

Bit like the Merc Unimog, Trying to find a decent condition one and at not stupid price is like rocking horse poo.

There used to be several at the War and Peace show but numbers have dwindled recently. Pretty epic vehicle, worth buying just for that speedo!

I always fancied a Volvo Laplander myself.

My dream off roade would he a Stolly, but I'm resigned to that never happening.

Back in the days long ago when I was young, I remember the local farmer using a Steyr Puch Haflinger as a run about.

I remember it being fairly small but he swore it would carry just about anything and go anywhere.

I really wanted one, but I dont think I have ever seen one since.

Drove a few both on the road and in the water!
To think Mclaren drivers imagined they were the first to have a middle driving position.
