Ok, the tyres aren't to everyone's taste, but they have got the Volvo logo in the tread, which must be worth some serious cool points.
Gets a mega OOF!!! from me.

Apparently it has the steering wheel, gear lever and steering column from a P1800, brake pedal and brake cylinders from the 140-series and a 960 gearbox, with a 265 BHP T5 engine running on Absolut Vodka. Just one dial on the dash that turns red when you turn the key, orange when you press (or is that depress?) the clutch pedal and blue when you start the engine...

The boot? I'm trying to work it out too, maybe it is an attache case for the office worker who like to drive a cool car to work?
form motivemag.com:
...the charming luggage compartment at the very front - in actual fact an elegant leather case...

I've just involuntarily recreated Penski's avatar. That is lush.
Mildly off topic, but apart from that and the Ford GT90, are there any other one-offs with tread like that?

Those 'bike discs (or 'bike-like) are awesome. I'm not sure quite how he managed to resist the wood effect on the wheel centres though.

Yeah love that, just slightly skinnier wheel tyre on the front for me too. agree rear end is chunky and great. Case on front? Wierd, must have a reason..

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I like the clean lines, but that luggage carrier at the front doesn't look quite right.. and would be ruined after one muddy puddle.
And the cover hiding the engine? Horrible. It is never right to cover up an engine.
I like the wide front wheels though. It makes it look balanced, and I am sure the extra grip comes in handy with the dead axle.

I LOVE THAT!!! Oh my GOD! I think the tyres make it! Very clever tread pattern. The fat tyres make it look chunky and solid... superb. Must be an OOF thread candidate! |
