The Nordic Sapphire is my second major Riviera design. Originally I contacted to put together designs for a car that would have an over all vintage italian design studio feel to it and so that is where we started. the owner really wanted a Ferarri California style tail light and so I worked that into the design as well. One piece front lamps compliment the custom tail lights, reworked bumpers front and back, reworked rockers, de-peaked hood with custom trident spears and many, many other touches.. I thought it should a wheel design proper to its age and after many options chose a rare turbine / mag mixture called the Apache.

 

  Interior and engine would also follow the design studio treatment.

   

  After many months working on this project I eventually went to work for the shop that was building it, Shine speedshop. The project made it to about 75% complete but was never finished and I believe is for sale.
