Welcome to the second installment of this weekend’s Weekend Edition. In the previous post, you got to see a 1995 HMMWV put up for sale after the Norwegian Army was done with it. That’s all fine and dandy, but what if your summer/winter cottage isn’t really reachable by anything you could call a road? That’s when you need a Hägglunds Beltevogn BV206, like this one right here.
It’s ex-Forsvaret, too, and you can get it if you act in ten days.
Here it is, in all its tracked glory. The articulated all-terrain carrier consists of two units, with all four tracks powered. It can carry up to 17 people (6 in the front compartment, 11 in the rear), so you can host a damned good cottage weekend if you pack it all up with people and supplies.
Supplies.
This is where said supplies, or people go. Doesn’t it look cozy in there?
This is where you’re going to sit. Just twirl the steering wheel’s knob and step on the loud pedal, something is going to happen.
The engine in these is the 2.8-litre Ford Cologne V6, so if you have a Merkur Scorpio, you can sacrifice it for parts to keep this running. Or the other way around, whichever you prefer.
Look! Only 13 500 mossy, snowy, Norwegian kilometres. By the way, this is what the Norwegian Army looks like:

Efficient, isn’t it?
