Another prototype? Not seen that one before...Bottom one looks cool though. Liking the vents for added winter 'dampness'

Sorry, thats the only picture i have-directly from that site.

That does look strangley like the C4...Volvo ahead of their time again...! Also reminiscent of an older CRX....

Ah gee, thanks guys...:blushes:

Don't have my Laptop handy at the mo, but when i get it back online i'll send you the original files.

Got the second one as my desktop. Thats made me feel all warm inside!

Took nearly 8 painstaking hours of soapy washng, t-cutting and two layers of wax to get it that clean. When i got back home (5 min drive) it was black again

Those pics where the interpretations of different design study's how the project G 13 (our beloved (and sometimes) hated) 480 should be.
I believe Bertone, Coggiola and Volvo Sweden and Netherlands were involved.
The Dutch design won.

Yup - the fixed headlights of the first were tried again for the Phase II project

Interesting that from the design sketches on the club page, the Prius/CRX/C4 look a-likey hinted of Delorian and VW Scirocco - and made me think - hmm!
But in the flesh - I'm very pleased things went the way they did!

But check out the bits like the up-raked rear window and the sexy alloys - some things should have made production me thinks!!

Indeed, those pics were from the first prototypes of the different involved styling companies. The four Jeroen mentioned are correct.
