I must get into the habit of bookmarking more things when I find them. I'm familiar with this Volvo from finding an article on it last year, but can I find that article now? It's an excellent bit of kit that blends modern minimalism and hot rod minimalism beautifully, and I especially like the windscreen pillars and the previously mentioned tyre tread.

I too remember the original post, but it's nice to see it again
The tyres stuck in my mind, but couldn't for the life of me work out why I had to keep looking at them until you just pointed it out! DOH!
However, that continual staring enabled me to fully notice the motorbike inspired braking system with thin discs bolted direct to the wheel and very discreetly mounted calipers, making for a much cleaner look.
Why has this not been done before? It looks excellent!

when I read "cool volvo" in the thread title I was expecting a 340 or maybe a 240 or 740. I was not expecting this. I love the tread on the tyres  |

They're a Pirelli of some sort according to the sidewall.

The VOX Amazon was built by Mattias Vocks. This chap build that silvery smooth street-roddy thing a few years back, seems to be doing stuff in that vein.
Amazing how clean that front end is there.
