The color is not Viking Blue, it was intended to be Princess Blue but a glitch in changing from the PPG code to the Glasurit used at the factory resulted in an "offset" color from Volvo that is more of a "slate" color but still quite nice and very period. As the car was required to ship to Switzerland for showing there was not time to re-do the paint. I think we will get some orders for this color one it has been seen on the car!

Talk about badge-engineering!
This looks like the same car that AC were showing at the Geneva Motorshow in March as the 'AC Mk11 Classic' - Superformance and AC both being built at Hi Tech.
Superformance:
