I have many questions, the first one being how short you need to be to sleep width ways across a Volvo estate

Not sure I'd want to meet the owner of that. Most interesting for me is the Ecto 1 replace in the background of one of the photos.

Hilariously bad.

So much effort’s gone into creating something so awful. Weird

Is that based on the 300C maybe? The Ecto 1, not the Volvo of course!

Facebook marketplace supplies a constant stream of content for this thread... too much to post it all!

I think this belongs here and not the other one.. maybe.

Ah, the Testarossa Monopostvan.

I wonder if there is something interesting lurking in the bed? Seems a waste of the load space.

It looks silly…although a bit of fun and they have done a good job.

I've done a little more digging in case it did have something interesting in the back - it was a conversion done by RAYS in Japan and yours for the princely sum of 280000 Yen / ~£1750:

It needs to have a flat-12 under there.

You have to wonder who buys these things, given you are likley to be young and have to declare it as modified and the standard insurance isn't cheap on these older cars.

there are afew insurers who are fine with cosmetic mods as long as you don't modify the engine/performance

I’ve posted this car before. But I’m pretty sure the shocks/springs are a new addition.

That must weigh a ton.

It can't be real, I get an uncanny valley effect looking at it.
