Thanks for the link Unfortunately our shedule was so fully packed, that a ride in one wasn't possible  The next time it's probably too late - as masses of Chinese VW Jettas and other Chinese are flooding the country in the last 3 years.But the Northkoreans didn't like the Chinese stuff, it unreliable, they complain. The want to have "real VWs from Germany", Benzes and BMW. They have said to us: "If we would have real money, we all would like to travel to Germany for shopping" |

Still, there's at least one of the legendary thousand left in Pyongyang. The "hardcore public transportation fetishist" caught it in one of his videos (just 24 seconds in). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JumMvK89XYM -- Last edit: 2014-11-28 23:20:51 |

@Weasel984: a propos "strange proportions": one year ago, in Beaulieu, I had a discussion with Sam Glover, the COMECON-car freak from "Practical Classics" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0s9UU6O9vk about the legendary, never paid Volvo 144 in the DPRK. I've noticed that, but haven't thought closer about it, but Sam tried to find out more: all, really all of those have a flatter nose. You may think, that the suspension is lower, but actually the front of the bordy was lowered somehow. Sam had no chance to check a Volvo closer, with an open bonnet, so he is still rummaging about that topic, and why all Volvos have this flatnose, not just a few of them. We agreed, that this is a very good reason to visit again this fascinating country  Why not, as there already were made trips for planespotters, trainspotters and even tramspotters, so why not for car-freaks either  Simon from http://www.koryogroup.com/ is a very capable guy, surely he can arrange something. |

And not just Volvos it seems - interesting what is hidden behind it. Local school of customization - north coast style.  Country not for me, I prefer when rear is a little lower, like it is during acceleration or... when you tow caravan. |

I found another North Korean film with one of the thousand Volvos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RYV5u82cls&t=206s |
