Snapped it driving around West London... Figured someone here would recognise it:

Looks a bit like a Dodge Power Wagon - Maybe russian?

As a newbie who runs a Volvo Amazon, I can confirm is it a Volva Sugga (TP21)



Its basically an old Volvo taxi, placed on a lorry chassis and used in the 50's to carry around radio equipment for the Swedish army.

There are a few in the UK, the best place to try to find one would be on the Volvo Owners Club forum http://www.volvoforums.org.uk

I use to know someone who owned a Sugga.

If you really are interested in getting one, you could make contact with the Invicta Military Vehicle Preservation Society, who have a number of Sugga owners as members and the club will probably be able to ppoint you in the direction of any mil vehicles specialists that may have one for sale.
