robin craig Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have always liked the look of them. They can drive easily on the road and might leak less than a Land Rover when it rains! I heard that one may come to roost near here possibly in the coming months. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The "Sugga" or Sow was built up much in the same way as the Dodge WC. The Volvo carburettor has been used by many Swedish Dodge WC owners as it supposedly gave a better mileage than the original carbs. Only around 700 were made and a lot of them have been heavily modified, with V8's (Ouch!!!) and BIG wheels. The few original ones left are getting more collectable, and expensive to buy.

Oxford spectator Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Bumping this up as i dont think many of you know about this one. But Red Bull actually own a Volvo Sugga with a few modifications, it showed up to my universities freshers fair. It seems Red Bull own a number of these Sugga's. Both here in the UK and in the US.
