Looking for a Saturday driver? Here’s a good candidate, a 1995 Humvee. HMMWV? Hooniversal Multi-purpose Mobility Weekend Vehicle, of course. You surely know these suckers by heart by now, but this one used to belong to the Norwegian Army. Check it out.
The body on this Humvee is the M1097 Heavy version, so it’s been designed to carry heavier payload capacity cargo than the regular base models. The vehicle is equipped with basic armour, but this one mostly consists of canvas atop the basic structure.
The kilometer speedo is the easiest giveaway that this is a Norwegian wheeled vehicle. Still, all the instructions are in plain English, instead of having words like “møøse”. A møøse once bit a female Norwegian soldier, you know. No realli! She was Karving her initials on a HMMVW with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by the Norwegian Army… But I digress.
The technical specifications of the 6.5 L V8 turbo diesel are as such: 190 hp @ 3,400 rpm / 380 lbf·ft (515 N·m) @ 1,700 rpm.
The reserve price of this HMMWV over at retrade.se was set at 60k NOK, but at the time and with 11 days left on the auction the highest bid is at 76000 NOK, or 13k USD. It’s last been test driven in December 2012. It’s located in Kjeller, Lillestrøm, so you’ll need to make your way there as it’s sold “AS IS, WHERE IS”.
Would you bid more for this Weekend Vehicle?
