Volvo L3314 "Laplander" by Autocult Models

3/1/2018

The rather new and small German model company AutoCult has released last year a miniature of the Volvo L3314. AutoCult is specialized in offering small batches of unusual and very often vehicles that that well known by the large public.
AutoCult offers this very boxy Volvo as a 1:43 scale model. The resin model seems to look pretty well detailed. It features a Swedish license plate. You can order your copy under item number 08007. This limited edition model of only 330 units is available for 89.95 €.
Quote from Autocult Models website:
The tough Scandinavian

In the late 1950s the Swedish military was looking for a special vehicle, which should be primarily used for the transportation of troops. The constructors of Volvo were charged to develop a four-wheel-driven cab over engine, which ensured mobility even in very rough terrain.

Under the direction of chief designer Nils-Magnus Hartelius the engineers of Volvo developed a solid ladder frame and installed a box-shaped driver’s cab, which merged into a tub-shaped rear end on it. This design was very stable and provided the possibility to install a variety of different rear structures. With measures of 8,90x16 inch the unusually large-dimensioned low-pressure tires dominated the visual appearance of the Volvo. These were also one of the few components, which were not taken from the shelves of series production. Generally the guideline applied to ensure a cost-efficient production and that is how it came that the engineers used many parts of the then-current passenger car range. This was also applicable to the 1.8-liter engine with a power of 75 hp. The mass production  of the Volvo with the type designation L3314 – known in common usage as the “Laplander” – started in 1963. The exclusive customer was initially the Swedish military, whose wishes and guidelines were directly taken into account during production. Its generous chassis clearance, the extra wide tires, the short wheelbase and its large departure angle made it easy for the Volvo to climb high-lying areas, which were normally inaccessible for motorized vehicles.

Volvo produced overall 7,737 copies of the military version.

About Autocult Models – quote from their website:
The AutoCult GmbH was founded in the beginning of 2015, by a team, who can look back on years of successful experience in model car business.

True to our brand and company name we are dedicated to realize long since forgotten automobiles, which stand out due to its extraordinary shape or its groundbreaking construction, as miniatures. The focus is not only on the model itself, we also want to highlight and tell our collectors the story and information behind each car. In this way AutoCult resurrect long since forgotten brands in miniature form.

Each of our models is sophisticatedly handcrafted of resin, is subject to strict quality controls and a limitation of 333 pieces. The limitation is evidenced by an enclosed booklet, which also contains the story of the car. At the end of each year AutoCult issues a book of the year, containing all detailed and illustrated stories of the released model cars of the year.

The AutoCult model range is subdivided in 12 different categories to offer the collector the continuous opportunity to keep his/ her collector’s field affordably complete. Below the categories, like Streamliner, Microcars or Racing, partly quirky but also pioneering models; sometimes defunct; are released and will be released. Through substantial knowledge in classic model making it is possible to realize these models without CAD-assistance.
Due to a sensitive selection of suitable distributers and dealers and through our worldwide limitation of “only” 333 pieces, we can offer and ensure a certain price stability and recoverability. Our Models are only distributed by specialist dealers and museum shops.

We look forward to take you with us on our "journey through time" of automobile history.

Your AutoCult-Team.
