Found in a warehouse:~
My neighbors brother has found this model in a warehouse that they are clearing:~
Not a picture of the actual car but given to me for reference etc. I believe the car is being restored and has been media cleaned as a start. I know little about this particular range but can pass on details if you wish-also give the forum details so he may start to send in some information? Regards Bob. |

Duett based I assume.
I'm not Volvo savvy enough to know if that was a factory production model or not. May be someone else will know about Duett based pickup trucks?

Many Duetts have been converted into pick-ups in Sweden. Commercial chassis were sold by Volvo so that coachbuilders could build their own rear sections. Cabs on those are shorter with less wide doors so that a pick-up bed could be longer for better carrying capacity. I have seen an English reg one of these but only once at a Volvo meet at Gaydon. Nice condition but I've not seen it pictured or mentioned since then. It was grey, cab and bed from memory. From North London/Herts? I likely have a picture, I will do some digging.
If John Crosskey reads this, please post if you have any info on this one. I think all of the original Volvo chassis were as per the 445 and have the 2 piece split windscreen. Don't know if they carried on with them when they changed to a 1 piece screen. See if you can get some pictures please. Last edited by Derek UK; Apr 28th, 2021 at 15:25. |

They did change the design on the later trucks in line with the PVs and Duetts in '61, as in the photo above. |

Forum;
It could be one of those Swedish two passenger "farm tractor" conversion vehicles, built by a 16 year old, which would enable him to take advantage of the rule that allowed him to drive... Cheers |
