That's interesting. I assumed you had found the same source as myself. According to "my" website source, it's not motorcycle-engined at all.

Still locked for you. Could you delve a bit deeper?

Yes. Not from Sweden. Plus it's an unlikely marque.

I'm going to give you the point for that. According to my understanding of the Swedish-language website, it's based on a Bedford chassis/engine. That'll be effectively a Vauxhall motor. It looks a small car, and I think your idea of a motorcycle engine wouldn't be that surprising, but I have to go along with my source.

Weel done. I thought tobytwirl had found it but he must have been offline.
