Besides the obvious candidates, Yellow T-5R and Flashcama P2s, what are rare Vovlos? Maybe you've seen a few, maybe you've seen photos of but never the car?

I'll start.

Purple 960

Those rims were sold on the Last two years of the 960. Called ANDROMEDA wheels. I believe there was a SE trim level package that it was sold under.

Incredible. If I had to choose between a purple 960 and a 780 T, to own, I'd probably lock up and not be able to decide. Eyes roll back, dripping drool, etc. I'd need a reboot.

Reason: 780 not 980
