Hi folks new member here from sunny Carlisle
Does anyone have any information about the Volvo Trygge (forerunner to the f83)
I mainly require info about the brakes which are vacuum servo hydraulic.
I also have a Volvo Sugga any parts or info would be good aswell.
Thanks Glynn

Welcome to the forum, it'd be good to see a thread about the Sugga if you get chance.

My sugga is nearly on the road just waiting for the last few engine bits to finish it ,spares are a nightmare.
The engine is a side valve 6 cylinder which was out of date when fitted.

The sugga is 1957 and the trygge v8 is 1963
I have most of the accessories for the sugga, radios x5 bike rack and bike, engine preheater .
Bodywork wise there is a little more to do around the boot lid.
But engine wise I have new valves and Pistons but I am waiting for big end and main bearings and head gasket.

Hi
Is it the military Sugga or the Suggan taxi?
