If you try on the Swedish web-site, then perhaps you go "lucky"
Link to their site: www.mfhf.se/cms/index.php
They also have a forum and a place to put adverts ("annonser")

I do not know of any Volvo Halftrack in Norway and think they are far betweene in Sweden too. But I am sure some museums have them.

Thanks for that kind message. I have taken an "annonser" some weeks ago on that forum. But it looks like that it would be easier to get an German Demag as then an Volvo....

Thanks again!

Lucky, I am sure some years ago Thomas had a Volvo Halftrack, he showed it to me personally, it looks very much like a german one. must have a pre-digital picture somewhere.
