Great thanks James I wouldn't have had a clue where to start, looks a nice example too. I've noticed that in all the pics shown the paintwork after so long is really excellent but what about underneath re corrosion etc ?
For the record 1 Swedish Mil is 10 kilometers so roughly 160,000 kms making it about 125,000 miles. Also as a rough rule of thumb it's about 75% of Skr 40,000 for £s (Skr 13.22 = £1) so about £3000 making it a bit more expensive by comparison to buy over there than here I would guess.
I deliberately started looking around very early to get an idea of all the model options first as I'm hoping to leave around October time, and being in Devon it's obviously far easier and quicker to fly from Exeter to Edinburgh then Air Norway to Oslo finally train to the Uddevalla area which is about 75 - 100 miles south of the Norwegian border, so Gothenburg wouldn't be much further. Returning to the UK with a Swedish reg car I don't think would a problem either (though not sure how long one is allowed to drive here....?), as there's an overnight container port at Larvik south of Oslo to Immingham, however I think the real problem is how to approach it all without seeing and test driving the car first !
Thanks really useful to talk it all through with an expert however I guess I'm still keen on your original suggestion of a low mileage, one or two owners hopefully,180PS version :)
Google Translate works pretty well I've found....
