Not that I'm surprised but it seems there is still a strong following for the old bonneted Volvo NH out in the Biglorryblogosphere so I was trawling through the Volvo image gallery today (looking ironically for some old F12 Globetrotter pix) when I found this small cache of NH shots including this rather nice cutaway.

This selection appears to be based on South American models, including this one with a Globetrotter cab. I must try and get hold of a shot of Mike Beer's NH which was registered in Holland as I recall. Does anyone have a shot of it?

Clearly it had been raining a bit when they shot this one... In the meantime John Comer has very kindly posted a long and informative comment on the history of NH on the last Bigloryblog story I did on the Swedish bonneted behemoth! Now click through for a couple more...

Not sure whether this isn't an Aussie one as they look like gum trees. What do you think blokes down-under?

However, this one is definitely in Argentina!
