The Volvo P 1800 is undoubtedly the most elegantly,
exquisitely and dynamically designed Volvo of the twentieth
century.
The Volvo P 1800 came onto the market in 1961 as a coupe and
was initially built at Jensen’s in England. The P1800 became
world-famous for the series of "The Saint" in the 1960s,
with Roger Moore in the leading role.
After building 6000 cars in 1963, production of the P 1800
was relocated to Sweden, and the car was then named the 1800
"S" (Sverige).
In September 1969, the 1800 E was presented with a Bosch
fuel injection system, a modified dashboard and had disc
brakes all around. The beautiful 1800 ES estate/coupe came
onto the market in the year 1971.
