Were they sold to many countries? Or just to Holland? Cant remember that the Swedish army had any of those.

Think I have seen a 4X4 F88 once before, but can´t remember where.
But an interesting vehicle.

Might have been. I have only looked in it once long time ago.
I wonder if it i the same frontaxle as in the N86 and 4854?

The red/yellow F88 was new sold to the English army stationed in Germany, i believed the used to have 3 of these trucks, one returned tot the UK.
