torslanda 200 1993

Bryan, the only information I can find online about the model is this blurb from Wikipedia, so who knows how accurate it is:
240 Torslanda (1993): Very few of this special model were made. They were made primarily for use in Sweden, as they were specially equipped for surviving snow and ice in freezing winters. These cars can be identified by Torslanda badging, tinted windows, plastic exterior trim (as opposed to chrome, which will rust in snowy conditions), multi-spoke 15" alloy wheels, and full-length body striping above the rocker panels. The interior featured only the bare minimum of extras with no electric mirrors, windows, cruise control, air conditioning, airbags and no leather upholstery. Because the freezing temperatures could cause luxurious accessories to break down more often than usual, the only features were heated front seats, power steering and all the standard heating systems.

That may be where I first heard of it, in fact. I was hoping the original poster could shed a little light, maybe take some pictures of this exceedingly rare model.
