The Volvo P1800 was introduced in 1957 with the X1 prototype. After the P1900, it was the second model with which Volvo hoped to penetrate the sports car market. The definitive model, designed by Pelle Petterson, who worked for the Italian Carrozzeria Frua at the time, was presented to the public for the first time at the 1960 Brussels Motor Show.
The 2+2 coupé was equipped with a front-engine, 1.8L four-cylinder engine, with dual carburettors, producing 100 hp. It was a rear-wheel drive sports car that was considered pioneering at the time because of the standard front disc brakes. The P1800 was assembled from 1961 onwards. Due to the huge popularity of the Volvo Amazon, Volvo was forced to outsource the production of the car’s shell to Pressed Steel in Scotland, with Jensen assembling the cars in England. Jensen ultimately ended up producing just +/- 6,000 cars, as Volvo decided to terminate the contract in 1963 due to quality issues. From then on, Volvo assembled the cars itself.
The production was moved to Volvo’s own plant in Gothenburg. From then on, the car’s name was changed to 1800S, with S standing for Sverige, dropping the P. The 1800S was born. In 1968, the 1800 was improved with a 2-litre engine. In 1969, it was equipped with a D-jetronic fuel injection engine, producing 120 hp. From then on, it was known as the 1800 E (Electronic Injection). The interior was also adapted and the car was equipped with four-wheel disc brakes. In 1971, Volvo introduced the shooting break, designated as 1800 ES, which remained in production until 1973.
The P1800 rose to prominence because of the hit TV series The Saint’, in which the car was driven by the main character, played by Roger Moore. Production stopped in 1971, with 39,414 units produced.
Collection by Vermant is pleased to be able to offer you this truly exceptional Volvo P1800 E. This P1800 was delivered new in June 1970 n the United States, like the majority of the P1800’s, in 1970. Being an injection example this one is fitted with a B20 engine. To bring the power to the wheel, this P1800 was specified with a Borg Warner BW35 automatic transmission. This allows for smooth and relaxed driving around town but also at higher speeds.
This P1800 was imported in 1991, by the second to last owner, from the US to the Netherlands. At this stage the car was in a more or less neglected condition and was in need of some love and attention. The Dutch owner did just that and performed a full restoration on the car in 1991 where the body was brought back to bare metal, the interior refinished and the drive train completely overhauled. Pictures from before the restoration and during the restoration are present in a picture book and show the level of detail to which the car was restored back in the day. Today this P1800 still presents beautifully, despite being restored over 30 years ago.
This P1800E was finished in the beautiful colour Turqouise (104), wich is one of the rarest colours available on the P1800 with approximately 317 examples produced. This was not only a rare colour but also only available on the 1971 model year. This hue accentuates the lines of the car extremely well and gives it a joyful and sporty appearance in today's traffic. The paintwork on the car is still in excellent condition throughout and shines brightly. This is further enhanced by the beautiful chrome work on the car that truly makes this car stand out. In the interior we can find a beautiful black upholstery that breathes refinement and luxury. Despite being restored 34 years ago, this is still in almost new condition. The overall condition of the car shows the care that has been put in by previous owners to keep the car in the best possible condition throughout the years.
This P1800 will be delivered with:
