MiniMort Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I remember seeing quite a mix of shite when I went to Norway a few years back. A couple of Mk2 Granadas, a Saab 96, a Lada Niva, a Hillman Husky and an Austin A35 are the ones that stick in my head. I'll see if I can find some photos from that holiday.

So here vehicles for sale in Norway are posted. And I'm going to focus mostly on older vehicles. And I will stick mostly to cars under 8000 pounds.

I have worked in Norway for the last 25 years both on and offshore. I nearly bought a few times but missed out. The one that still hurts was a Saab 93 two stroke but I hesitated as it was located at the very top end of Norway. By the time I discovered that Hurtigruten was not that expensive (relatively) to get it back to Stavanger, it had been sold. Several times I missed out on Volvo PV544 Vans (always the ones in reach came up for sale when I was offshore) and still occasionally look at the ex army BVs, but we don't get enough snow here in Scotland anymore to justify it. Will be back in Norway soon so will have to start looking again. Matty and Dyslexic Viking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends. On used cars, I think it's normal even though I'm bad at it, but I'm not so sure about anything else, I've never experienced it anyway.

And with the PV544 van these I'm used to us calling these Duett but maybe it's different in the UK? And if you are going to Norway in the future and may need some help then just ask I will be happy to help if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
