OK.  I have it as completed in 1985 and powered by a Volvo 2.3 litre Turbo but I guess you're right too!

20 of these roadsters were built between 1983 and 1986 by Danish Volvo dealer Ole Sommer, 5 Mk 1 (1983/84) and 15 Mk 2 (1984-86). They could be equipped with every Volvo engine from B19 to B23. The pictured car is a 1985 Mk 2 with a B23 Turbo engine.

Sommer was also a coachbuilder and was responsible for at least two other cars that have featured here on AP, a Volvo PV445 coupé and the Sommer-bodied Jowett Jupiter fastback:

The OScar was a British BRA 289 built under license by Sommer.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

That is interesting.
I would never have guessed it as I thought it was another quite well done Cobra replica, as is the BRA.
