Just a quick shot of my c303 from a recent trip. I'll eventually get around to tossing a few more of this and my volvo 6x6 up here. I enjoy the 303 10x that of my old Mogs..

I've considered a Pinzgauer but have stayed away from them because of the air cooled engine and the need to run a separate heating system. That has always attracted me to the Volvo C303. Sadly finding a C303 is a very difficult task while Pinzgauers are a dime a dozen.

Why do you like the 303 more than the unimog?

good stability while maintaining a small form factor.. I've got the same ground clearance, portal axles, and yet can seat 7 in half the space. The 303 will easily do 60 mph, smoother ride, has more HP, has rear heat, you can pull the aluminum roof off if you really need to. Both will go in the same places, stock selectable lockers..

the Volvo 912.. I think production only in the 700's range, 1950's era with selectable lockers and about the same length as a modern pickup.

I drove up to British Columbia many years ago to test drive a c303. Unfortunately I never purchased it - I was going through the paperwork to get it cleared by the State's DEQ and DMV. Then the guy who was selling it was nicked by the CIA and the Canadian equivalent for importing tanks that had not been rendered non-functioning before they were shipped.
