For those interested in Volvo’s in Australia take a look at oldaussievolvos.com
The highlights seem to be that they opened up in 1969 and imported 4 F86’s, the only fully built vehicles they ever sent to Oz, thereafter they were knockdown kits assembled in Woolongoing, bearing in mind that Australian vehicle import duties are eyewatering better now but 100% sticks in my mind. Woolongong is a steel town on the NSW coast about an hour south of Sydney. As an unrelated aside there used to be a headbanger, (no other description will do) who was giving joy rides for a fee from the private airfield there in a Mig with bald tyres which leaked fuel, until he got caught, then he stopped.
In 1973 they started offering the G89 in addition to both F and G88, I can only assume that the set forward front axle made room for the TD120, maybe somebody from down under can offer enlightenment.
