I "stole" a few pics from that Swedish ad site, Blocket.

That truck is in very good condition for its age Robert

How old would you say it was ??

Nick

Are you asking ME about the age of that truck?
Thanks, I needed that laugh!

Here is the translated text from the ad:
Hualer kockum 420. Ready to drive after some minor tender love and care. The hauler is very cheap to drive, fuel cost only about 7 liter/hour.= low cubic cost PRICE 45000:- + taxes

I dont know the exact exchange rates but it would be about 4700 euro or 3-3400 £.


I did some googling and found this:
http://www2.landskrona.se/Kultur/landsv ... kl420.html
It says that they where made from 1962 to 1974.

More old Swdish iron can be found here.

And I found another one while I was googling. Not as tidy as the first one.

A few made it to the UK, Short Bros. had some.
