Hi Bill,

could it be a Volvo PV 801?

Hi Bert:

Exactly so, one of those very rare Volvo Taxi/Limousine variants. Wish I could find one to buy today.
BTW, this was my first attempt with my new Photo Editing Program to play with a photo and I brushed out the Volvo "I Roll" logo. But............you figured it out anyway
Edit: I forgot to mention this one is/was in Finnish Army Service
Over to you

Cheers

Hi Bill,

thank You very much. I didn´t know this car, but I knew the truck of Volvo type LV 101/102 with a very similar hood. So I could find the designation of the car.
Sorry, I cannot go on with the quiz, because I have muc problems with my PC (virus + trojans). I´m workong on my laptop. So, if anyone want´s to go on, please do so.

Regards

Bert

Hi Bert:

I am sorry for your PC problem, I have had the same issue far too many times.

Anyway, yet one more softskin to keep things going.

Cheers

Thanks Bill,

New subject vehicle with expurgated radiator grille. Photo from exp. eBay.de.

[Bill Murray]

Gotta love ya Markus. The word "expurgated" does not appear in either my English/Swedish Dictionary or my English/Finnish Dictionary. Quite the linguist you are.

Probably an incorrect answer as I have just finished my third glass of excellent Wine, but maybe an Opel Autobahn bus with coachwork by Ludewig.

Cheers
Bill

Hi Bill,

An Autobahn bus it is but not an Opel: This one has a more pointed grille emblem in the unsmudged original shot.

Markus

Markus, is it, and here I'm assuming by expuragted you mean cleaned of its maker's marque, a Mercedes-Benz LO 3750 ?

[peeved]

Hi Alan,

A Mercedes-Benz it is. Rather muddy but quite possibly a Lo 3750, looks very similar to the one at http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5314/584 ... c0a2_z.jpg

Over to you,
Markus

Thanks Markus, I came across this one on television earlier this evening and I had to take a pic of the screen and ask around before findong out what it was myself ! It is a wreck and I mistiutled the pic when I saved it !

[Bill Murray]

Hi Alan:

Nice pick on the Benz: I looked at virtually every other makers "Autobahn" busses but skipped Mercedes as I had only seen a very few photos of that body style mounted on their chassis.

Regarding your quiz photo, pretty fuzzy but may I guess an early Humber Scout Car. Can't tell if the photo is taken in Russia or in the Desert but it almost looks like a sand channel on the back of the vehicle.

Cheers

Bill

[Alanmccoubrey]

Bill, I myself though it was a Dingo at first but the wheels are far too large for that, or the Humber I'm afraid. The clip was definitely filmed in Europe.

[Alanmccoubrey]

A clue then, not British in origin but French.
