PS: I'm going to Chamonix, France, for a week starting tomorrow (Friday). Will also be visiting the Geneve auto show :) but it means that I will not have the regular Internet connection I enjoy at home. So please bear with me if my updates are a bit slower in the coming week!

Yes, the Swedish Sniper from 1998 - quite right! Never heard of a model designation, though - it is a one-off.

The Sniper is somewhere presented as the ABB Sniper.
There are at list 3 of them, a green one a red one and a blu one.

Oh! Didn't know that. My picture is taken from Swedish car magazine "Automobil" in 1998, at which point the car was under development. The plans for small-scale production never materialised, so I assumed there was only one. I stand corrected!
