I owned a white 1992 Torslanda many years ago. The stripes and badging were vinyl stick-ons, and so I guess could be quite easily removed. The wheels were specific to the model. Also, there was no external chrome - everything was black.
Interior-wise, the seat fabric was a very basic but very serviceable nylon, the backs of the front seats were vinyl-covered. The headrests were covered in a soft-feel plastic, and were the "open" type with no fabric pad or covering.
The car had manual windows and mirrors, the somewhat gutless 2 litre engine and a manual five-speed gearbox.
I did enjoy the car - the original owner had been a retired vicar, and when I bought the car it was in immaculate order and with a very low mileage.
For me the things it really lacked were electric windows, and after having owned B230-engined cars before this, the engine wasn't powerful enough.
The slightly odd thing about the O/P's car is the colour. Not 100% sure and I may be wrong, but I thought that Torslandas were only available in solid red, white or blue?

Nope, just double-checked - Torslandas were offered in silver too!
