The first one is one of the best conversions I've ever seen seen. Very neat and tasteful job even though the wood panels in the interior don't look very nice.

I think the Volga is based on the platform of the old BMW 8-Series and uses some of its technology too.

Yes, I think we had a thread about this Volga-BMW a long time ago. Nice to see a lot of pics, though.

I notice in one of the pictures, the interior is from the 6er, is there a new model based on the 6er now?

I think that's an 8-Series interior.

I think the convertible is based on the 6er, whereas the older coupe was based on an 8er.
