I almost bought a Converse kit for my 245 back in the day!

Pretty tidy.

Funny to picture that these were being produced side by side with the 122. From different eras.

Add in the 1800 and Duett, the stable in Gothenburg was a pretty full spectrum of motive power.

Heck, the 144 started sales in 1966 in Europe! The 65 122 reminds me of my first car although it was in California White with red interior.
