I've seen this one before ... Wasn't this a prototype for a Volvo 480 Coupé?

Yes it is. Well spotted.
But it had a code name, which I need for the point..
Locked for you to have a look further into it.

This I had to look up, but I found this: it's one of the 4 design proposals for the Volvo 480 called G13. There was a proposal by Jan Wilsgaard, one by John de Vries, one by Bertone and - this one - by Rolf Malmgren. In the end, Volvo chose to develop the one by John de Vries ...

That's it, yes.
I did also ask when it dates from but since I don't know exactly myself we'll forget that; the fact that it's a 480 prototype tells us when it's from anyway!
Well done.

And hey - you're nearly a Pro - only 5 pts to go!
