Interesting that Peter Horbury is credited with the design work, from what I've read, Volvo wasn't happy with his design teams work on the C70, Peter Horbury then chose a design by Ian Callum (then working for TWR before rising to Aston Martin and Jaguar fame). Compare the side view of the C70 cabriolet and the Aston Martin DB7 volante and you'll see Ian's work.
