    I really like it.

    The painted door handles are a nice touch.

    I normally like the unusual colours, but not sure on this one, certainly never seen another. This is what I can't get out of my head.

    This is extreme. Not a fan of the extra painted bits. Love the interior.

    Its LHD, Agreed, very rare, Never seen this colour before. Polio is quite rare now, but I wouldn't want that.

    I love it! BUT I would not go Blisteins on the car, but original CSI Springs and shocks/struts. Contacted the seller already. It is a little embarrassing since I am in Import business that I don't know the rules and regulations of importing cars into USA.

    I'm watching some Sunday football right now. Maybe one of the Miami Dolphins wants it? Nah...I doubt they even want to wear their uniforms in that shade.

    Cheers, John

    Hillarious!

    I would totally rock that mint green though . Luv it. Wonder who the original owner is/was.

    ^ I have been thinking of doing that when I get some other bodywork painted.
    Also the license plate surround too. Will fix that fading problem once and for all!

    The car has had a full respray in the hands of the present keeper, so I wonder if the door handles and number plate surround were originally painted in the body colour? Have been unable to decode the VIN (CC01971) to determine this, but I did find the car listed on M-Registry.

    First time I've seen test fittings permanently installed on the inlet manifolds of an S70 engine.

    Rest assured, the door handles and plate holder never came painted on any cars.

    You mean those things sticking out of the DK's? If so, i've seen them on a bunch of 850s including CSi's & alpinas.

    Dag, going to the registry link...Minty even has Standheizung aux heating!

    And those test fittings look good too. But not really. And more mint green was the last thing that car needs.

    I've since heard, on very good authority, that they are air valves which are commonly used for emissions testing in Germany.
    As indicated in the eBay listing description, the current owner purchased the car from Germany in 2005.
