THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This particular P1800 is a very late production (Feb 1972) from the final coupe model year and is undoubtedly one of the very best in existence. The car is finished in Cypress green (code 110) over a gold leather faced interior (code 351-811) with the ultra-desirable manual transmission. The car is a true time capsule that has been kept in immaculate, un-restored condition. Currently, the car has less than 40,000 original miles, which are extensively documented in a detailed log book.

With just a few long-term enthusiast owners and know history from new, the car has always been properly looked after. The most recent owner of 13 years has recently rebuilt the OEM Bosch fuel pump to handle the new fuels and replaced some rubber items to ensure that the car could continue to be safely enjoyed. The stunning P1800E was recently featured in the October 2018 issue of Collectible Automobile Magazine, which did an in-depth article on the car. The car has also recently been to the April 2018 Volvo Club of America meet in Davis, California. There, it was judged and won 'Best of Show' amongst nearly 200 of the country's finest Volvos.

In addition to the recent Volvo Best of Show award, the car is accompanied by an impressive list of items. Some of the items include the original accessory "waffle" rubber mats, 2 sets of keys, including the glove box and numbered originals, the original Goodyear G800 spare tire, spare tire cover, green jack and handle with the original rubber trunk matting in excellent condition, the complete original tool kit in the black vinyl pouch, a detailed log book with accompanying receipts, and the owner's manual and factory service manual. This California P1800E has recently been judged by its peers as the finest example in the country, upon inspection, most would agree that it is more than likely the finest in the world.
