Volvo history

Every Volvo four-wheel drive was built for the Swedish Army: the TP21 radio car of 1953, the Laplander of 1959–70 that Norway assembled to NATO standard and Saudi Arabia took to the desert, and the C303, C304 and C306 of 1974–2000 that also served Malaysia; their surplus supplies the expedition and collector market today.
