Here is a photo of a Volvo 165 long wheel base wagon, one could go so far as calling it a 165 Transfer.
It was supposed to have been produced by Volvo in Sweden at one of its plants for one of the then presidents of Volvo. This photo looks like it was taken in Germany, but I am not exactly sure of the circumstances regarding this car. Maybe it is all a story. |

Finally we are assembling my Volvo 165! (that was built by the swedish coachbuilder Yngve Nilssons Karosserifabrik - later on known for building Volvolimousines for regime in East Germany) If you don´t mind that we are talking like the Swedish chef in the Muppet show I can recommend this film that I´ve made about the assemby of the car: http://www.klassiker.nu/video/projek...montering-2773 To: Lotsofmagnets, I´m sorry. I have to get back to you about the chassis number. I don´t have the information where I am currently. To: SaintJohn - Don´t get me started about sandblasting. We have had a lot of trouble because the young man who did the sandblasting blasted away to much... I had to change a lot of parts - doors, bonnet - because of the sandblasting more than the rust problem. To Hinterland: Yes, unfortenately, as far as I know that story about the 164 Transfer is not correct. |

A world apart, and still these two renovations are pretty much at the same stages. After these pictures and film where made we had to get the car back to the paintshop to sort out some problems.

On a sad note
With regret l have to inform the Volvo world of the passing of John Ousey of a suspected heart attack.
He was the gentleman who oversaw Volvo Australia in the early years as a compliance engineer and in turn set up the 165 project with the MD of the time. His health has had issues over the past years and we were lucky to have him as a guest speaker at one of our club nights. Condolences to his family and friends. John Johnson |
