Since 2005 or something the ambulances, limousines and hearses built by coachbuilder Nilsson are registered as Nilsson V70 Ambulans, Nilsson S80, Nilsson 300 (special 300mm longer Volvo S80) etc.
The different models are crash tested and EU-approved as Nilsson.
This is because it is so much rebuilt it can no longer be called a Volvo.
So, the question is, should these still be listed as Volvo V70 Ambulans Nilsson?
Examples:

This is listed here as a Volvo, but as Nilsson V70 in the swedish vehicle register (and also EU-approved as a Nilsson)
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_147642-Wiman-9000-1996.html
This is registered in sweden and in the IMCDb as Wiman 9000. Wiman is the coachbuilder, and the special chassi is made by Solstad.
