I'm pretty sure that you're wondering yourself why I'm presenting the Volvo ÖV4 Jakob by the Finish company Stahlberg here. Well two Volvo fans from the Netherlands have recently discovered a new version of this well known scale model made out of plastic. The lightly inclined windshield stands out on this newly discovered version. It may be a model from the very first run. All the remaining versions who were released had always a vertical windshield.

I recently meet a Swiss Volvo fan and Rob Eddie scale model collector while visiting a Volvo event in Belgium. He revealed me that he had some Rob Eddie models which were missing in my database. He was very kind an took a few photos of these models back at home in Switzerland. Both models I will present you here have been issued for Rob Eddie's 30th anniversary. This was back in 2007. Both models have a yellow circle on their roofs which contains the three yellow numbers: 1977, 30 and 2007. The inscription has been stamped onto the models. It is not just a decal. Both Volvo models, the PV4 and the Volvo 740 estate are limited editions of only 30 units each. This is certified by a small etched number-plate on the undersides of both models.

A Dutch Volvo enthusiast was recently able to buy this Volvo ÖV4 pickup once made by Somerville. The 1:43 white metal model is decorated as SKF service car. The pickup is painted a light gray, it features a black roof and brown colored seats. 'SKF - Svenska Kullagerfabriken Goteborg' is written on the side doors and 'SKF' is written on the rear. Somerville released this model apparently around 1997. This Somerville model wears the rather unusual item number 553 as well as the abbreviation D.M.c.H. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have further infos regarding this Volvo model. Courtesy of BJ
