Volvo P1800 E 1972
General description :
Nobody thought that Volvo, which is known for its solid reliability, could design a car like the sporty P1800 but the 2+2 Coupé was a terrific sports car. For capacity reasons, its production was moved to Great Britain. In April of 1963, the car was renamed P1800 S – the “S” standing for “made in Sweden”. Then the qualitiy was right. In 1969, the P1800 E was released with a high performance engine thanks to the Bosch-Jetronic. In total, 5,057 cars of this model were made.Our classic P1800 E is from the car’s last manufacturing year 1972. The classic car is a German release, has matching numbers and has been with the same owner since 2008. The car is registered in Germany and has been lovingly restored and technically upgraded over the last 11 years. This reliable and sporty Swede is a great catch and will be a welcome guest at every classic meet up!

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.
