Volvo P1800 ESKombi 1973
General description :
Äusserst schönes und gepflegtes Fahrzeug - Schweizer Auslieferung! Der 1. Besitzer war ein Galerist aus Basel-Stadt und er hat den Wagen in all den Jahren besonders gut behütet. Zu einem unbekannten Zeitpunkt liess er den Volvo komplett neu lackieren. Bis im Jahr 2006 war das Fahrzeug in Familienbesitz, bevor es einer Volvo Garage als "Eye-Catcher" für den Showroom überlassen wurde. Nach einer längeren Standzeit wurde der Wagen im Jahr 2016 mechanisch überholt und ging in neue Hände. Die Karosserie befindet sich in sehr gutem Zustand inkl. Unterboden. Die Technik funktioniert wie gewohnt tadellos und der 1800er läuft perfekt - 4-Gang mit Overdrive. Zuverlässiger Klassiker und mittlerweile sehr selten, MFK 2.2023!

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.
