717 looks perfect on torque thrusts..
This was circulating a while back, rumor was Volvo might actually produce something similar. But with the way their sales were/are, it won't happen anytime soon.
I've been doing some thinking... along with running a nice twin cam 2 liter, I wonder if a set of new Mini head lamps could be neatly grafted into the front of the 1800.

Not without it looking like a MINI or cross-eyed like a new Morgan (the assemblies are angled).
The CG 1800 with the flush windows is the inspiration for Robert's car. He's planning to offer aftermarket flush glass kits. Some of his choices are not my personal cup of tea, but his fabrication abilities are impressive. It should look incredible when it's done.
