Nice pics, is that 850 pick-up a production model because the two look too simillar to be one-offs?

The 850 was never a production model, but they do look good... Hmm time to find an angle grinder :twisted:

Cool pics! :)

The 850 pick-ups were...hmm...now I DO know this story...if I think about it for a few moments.

Something collapsed on somewhere between 5-10 850 estates in the factory, and rather than scrap the cars, they were sent to a coachbuilder for conversion into pick-ups for promotional purposes. Something like that, anyway...

cheers
