Refurbished Iveco Truck in Scandinavia

Wednesday 18th September 2013

Nick and Martina came to Hendy Iveco in Exeter looking to MOT thier now very rare 1991 Iveco, originally commisioned by the Army as an ambulance. It needed some work and Steve Caton, service manager at Hendy Iveco Exeter, took care of the revamp, replacing the original engine and overhauling the gearbox, amongst other repairs.

Nick and Martina have now spent weeks crossing Scandinavia. On their adventures they have been kayacking, fishing, swimming and hiking, visiting stunning natural features including the most northern part of Europe, where they saw the famous midnight sun.

Together they have spent over 5,000km on paved and unpaved roads in Sweden, Norway and Finalnd. Even months after spending time in the Artic Circle on rutted tracks and unsealed roads (covered by snow and ice 8 months of the year) the Iveco handled the challenges admirably.

We wonder where they will go next!
