The BV202NFL is driven by an engine of 1,990 cc displacement producing 97 kW. At a length of 6,180 mm and a strikingly narrow width of 1,780 mm, the vehicle weighs 3,250 kg.
A width of only 1,780 mm against a length of 6,180 mm gives a very narrow, elongated proportion, of the kind built for vehicles that need to pass through tight gaps or travel on narrow tracks, for instance in forestry or off-road work. At 97 kW from just under 2 litres, the engine reaches a high power density for its size, pointing to a vehicle built for brisk acceleration rather than for sheer pulling power.
Buying such a narrow and old vehicle second-hand, the first question is what duty it is registered for, since without a recorded gross vehicle weight or wheel count, no firm vehicle-class assignment can be made from the register. The engine of just under 2 litres calls for a check of compression and the cooling system, and given the 1977 build year, corrosion on the underbody and around the wheel arches is also worth a look, along with checking whether spare parts for such a rare, narrow vehicle can still be sourced at all.
