Thema 8.32 has to be on top of list simply for rarity of its drivetrain layout.
Yes please, followed by a v6 164 (with no bodykit)
My favourite 164 was the (late 1990 launched) 164 3 Litre Cloverleaf with the body kit. It looked absolutely stunning, especially in Red or White.

Absolute top spot. Must be about on par with the Croma in the rarity stakes.

This is a regular spot in Port Sunlight and it looks in good order considering it is outside a lot.

It was nice!

I think its hard to see in the picture but pretty sure they are all timber, they just stand out as they're white. There's really strict regulations on windows/ doors/ paint codes in Port Sunlight Village as all the houses are grade 2 listed. Makes for a good sunday walk and some potential interesting car spotting!

A distant relation of the car, a Rover 800 Coupe, used to pull the burger van that frequently sat in a lay by between Newbury and Hungerford. I'll see if I can find it on Google Maps.

Or, if it isn't a relation at all, it certainly reminds me of the Rover 800 Coupe.

never driven one, but how about such Volvo Amazon with a Honda 243ps engine, pretty cool I thought, also a nice interior, not bad money for such classic in that state.

I'll take the one-off ex-Gianni Agnelli Thema 8.32 Estate by Pininfarina, please.

Did Agnelli never have a standard production car?

Why would he? He owned the company.

Just an observation. Without even looking I can think of Ferrari 365 P Speciale, Ferrari Testarossa Spyder, Lancia Delta Integrale Cabriolet, plus that Thema 8.32 Estate. All requiring individual development and production by his staff for the whims of one man. I can’t think of another owner of a major manufacturer who did this so often. Most tended not to show-off as much. I wonder if it upset the militant workers of the Fiat empire?

I don't think they were ordered off the production line: they were built by the coach builders they were commissioned from, or were specials built by the coach builder which he then bought or was gifted. Agnelli driving one of your cars would have been a massive image booster.

There's at least one other 8.32 estate: I suspect it was one of the simpler conversions, as the bodyshell already existed.

Why wouldn’t you? I like ordering both a 5000GT and a 400 Superamerica with the same body.
