Was for sale 2011 for Ł70,000 he bought it back in November last year iirc, has it still got the CC8S brakes on it? Mattias who built it worked for koenigsegg. The 2.8 alloy is in the Volvo S80 in twin turbo form but he used a bored out 2.5 from a 960 iirc, rear axle is a 1031 item with sport r diff..

I'm sure you knew all that anyway

Didnt Columbo drive a convertable one of them?




That is officially the coolest motor on Earth.


What an aboslutely beautifully put together machine, love the front strut brace, looks like its just floating there, so much simple detail, those seats and the stitching on them, the paint, the chrome...fucking awesome.

Fuck id love a ride in that
