Volvo P1800 E Coupe 1972
General description :
1972 VolvoP1800 E Coupe This nice Volvo P1800 E Coupe was imported from Las Vegas and it has a solid and almost rustfree body. Its last owner was a Volvo enthousiast and he started working on the car and already invested a lot of money and time. He rebuilt the engine and transmission, did the brakes and work on the suspension. Also he added powersteering (!), a special manifold and camshaft, alloy wheels and he rebuilt the dash and instruments. A lot of money was invested and this Volvo drives exceptionally well but it needs finishing. Some details need work and it does need new paint but the chrome is nice and the interior very clean. An opportunity to buy a project that does not need so much work and if it does not sell in a few weeks we will finish it. So don’t miss this one!

About Volvo P1800
Absolutely, the Volvo P1800 is a noteworthy addition to Volvo's history, often referred to as the "Nordic Ferrari" due to its sleek design and sporty characteristics. Here's an overview of its significance within Volvo's story:Introduction of the P1800: The Volvo P1800 was unveiled in 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show. It was Volvo's first sports car and aimed to appeal to enthusiasts seeking a blend of performance and elegance.
Styling and Design: Designed by Pelle Petterson at Italian design firm Frua, the P1800 had a stylish and curvaceous design, setting it apart from Volvo's more utilitarian models. Its long hood, graceful lines, and distinctive rear fins contributed to its captivating appearance.
Pop Culture Icon: The P1800 gained further recognition as it was featured prominently in the TV series "The Saint," where Roger Moore's character, Simon Templar, drove a white P1800. This exposure elevated the car's profile and popularity.
Evolution and Variants: The initial model was the P1800, followed by the P1800S, which featured a more powerful engine. Later, the P1800E and P1800ES (a sporty shooting-brake version) were introduced, further diversifying the lineup.
Performance and Technology: The P1800 was powered by a robust and reliable 1.8-liter inline-four engine, providing decent performance for its time. Its mechanicals were considered robust, matching Volvo's reputation for durability and safety.
Legacy and Influence: The P1800 holds a special place in Volvo's history, showcasing the brand's ability to produce a sports car that combined Scandinavian reliability with stylish design and respectable performance. Its influence can be seen in subsequent Volvo models, particularly in terms of design elements and the pursuit of sportier variants within the lineup.
The Volvo P1800 remains a beloved classic car among enthusiasts for its distinctive design, cultural significance, and being an embodiment of Volvo's foray into the sports car market, presenting a different side to the brand's typically safety-focused image.
