Two ES prototypes were constructed from finished coupes
removed from production. The first built on chassis number 26142 by the
Italian firm Coggiola was called the “Beach Car”. The second coupe pulled
from the production line was 26143 and went on to Frua for prototyping.
It was nicknamed the "Rocket" because of it’s oval shaped
tail section.
It was originally
white and
repainted gold by Frau. The car is currently painted Metallic Blue
and can be seen in the Volvo Museum in Gothenburg, Sweden.
