He was chief executive officer of the family firm Pininfarina, which has designed sports cars for Ferrari, Maserati, Volvo and Fiat.

C70...I know, not eacatly a sports car is it

Actually supirsed they didn't have any dablings with the 480 Turbo (strap a Renault turbo into a brick, restyle it, and give it to lotus to sort the suspension - mad ) or P1800.

Bertone made more interesting Volvos; there used to be someone who had a 262 Betone Coupe near me, looked like a pimp wagon
