About the Volvo P1800
The P1800 was Volvo’s sports coupé, built from 1961 to 1973. The first cars were assembled by Jensen in England; in 1963 production moved to Volvo’s Lundby plant in Gothenburg and the car became the 1800S. Roger Moore drove one in The Saint, and the fuel-injected 1800E of 1970 brought disc brakes on all four wheels.
What moves the price
- Version: the early Jensen-built cars and the later 1800E have their own followings.
- Condition of the body, which matters more than the robust mechanicals.
- History and originality.
Before you buy, check
- Corrosion in the sills, floors and lower body.
- Whether the car is Jensen-built or Swedish-built, against its records.
- A history of regular servicing.
