How North Korea Stole 1,000 Volvos From Sweden

There are 1,000 Volvos driving around North Korea which they never paid for. To this day the Volvos are seen in news footage, documentaries and photographs of the secretive country and seem to have been kept in great condition. This remains a mystery to many people. In this episode of Xplained we explore how this happened and whether it will ever be solved.

I bought a 1979 Volvo 244 in 1989 for 5000 Swedish koronas, when I lived there, I'm telling you that car was a tank 👌 Amazing car, I miss it.

Cheers to Sweden, home of the Nobel Prize, for keeping the peace!☮ Another great show, love the series!👍

I have a 144. I bought it having heard this story. I love hearing different telling of it. It is a quirky car with an equally quirky history. Great video! (I bet North Korea has the parts I need)

Yes, a bit sturdy. My Volvo 142 drove 750 000 kilometers (466 000 miles) before we had to put it down.

In the Hungarian exactly the same in that period, the government and political friends drove Volvo, normal people Trabant, Wolga and Ural motorbike, then you were lucky and have been waiting for a while !!

A Volvo P-1800 has driven 300 000 miles so these old Volvos have endurance as long as they are maintained properly.
