Is that an N 600 between the HB viva & Volvo 66 on the left?

I suspect that to be a DAF  because of  stripes and chrome bumpers

It's undoubtedly a Daf, the Volvo 66 didn't exist yet in 1974.😉

This picture was taken in Norway in 1956 for an article about how bad one of the main roads to Sweden was. The car is either a Pobeda or a Warszawa and is equipped with chains on all tires something that was common then in winter/spring.

Blake was Gareth Thomas.  Paul Darrow was Avon.  Sorry, pedantic mode.  At a glance, I can't see either of them in Sweeney either.  Both dead which seems sad to me.

Is that actually “ Christ on a bike”? ( riding on the water rather than walking).

Cool pic.

I'd fancy that motors chances of crossing rough terrain far more than some modern 4×4 tossmobile .
