Volvo C303

<< < (2/3) > >>

tarcus:
About the only thing against the C303 and variants is the size and the mechanical interest angle.  I bought a pinzgauer instead because the 6x6 is about the same size as a Defender 110 so very suitable for laning.  The C303 is quite wide, especially the weapon-carrier variant, so can be hard to fit down a lane.  The 6x6 variant is large too, can be hard to go laning in.  A friend bought a C303 and was going to sell his Suzukis but when we go laning he tends to take the suzukis because the C303 is too big.

Think of something between the size of a Defender and a Unimog, with an ambulance body then much closer to the unimog.

Nice vehicles, and about the best value for money you can get off-road wise but the Pinzgauer 6x6 is smaller, about as good off-road, and for me, has the mechanical interest that the C303 lacks.  The C303 is like a series landy with portal axles, the pinz is an odd beast that appeals to me a lot, but it is three times the price but not three times the off-roader so you make your choice.

Aha, a friend of mine has just collected his and will be converting to a more overland type spec.

The first task will be to replace the 6 cyl petrol with a 300tdi and R380 box. Whilst it's a sweet engine and box thats fitted, it's hopeless in terms of output and speed (and fuel economy), so it's up for replacement.

I'll try and keep abreast of whats happening and fill in when I can!

There's 2 of the Weapons platforms up here

Surprisingly they're located roughly 3 miles apart 'as the crow flies'.

For quite a while the owner of this one never knew of the existance of the other one!
