SUMMARY
Volvo's iconic coupé made famous by "The Saint".
DESCRIPTION
- Based on the classic Volvo 121/122S platform, with the 108bhp 4-cylinder unit from the B18
- Pietro Frua-designed featuring classic Italian styling elements like the gradually sloping roofline, egg-crate grille, subtle tail fins and accent lines
- Jaguar's refusal to provide up-and-coming British television show The Saint (1962-69) with an E-Type was Volvo's golden opportunity to promote the P1800
- This lovely example is a UK-supplied, RHD car that has not been restored as such but purely maintained properly all of its life
- Attractively finished in Volvo Dark Green (94) with a complementing Tan interior
- With its current keeper since 2014 and just 4 previous owners in its 53 years on the road
- Has had the benefit of an unleaded conversion
- Good history file with MOTs going back to 1976, owners handbook, invoices and an original sales brochure
