1973/M VOLVO P1800 ES AUTO GOLD – **TAX EXEMPT AS OF APRIL 2014**

The Volvo P1800 is a sports car from Volvo Cars. In 1972 came the last model. the 1800ES. a coupé station wagon with an all-glass tailgate. sometimes described as a shooting-brake. The final design was chosen after two prototypes had been built by Sergio Coggiola and Pieto Frura. Frua's very unusual looking prototype. Raketen (“the Rocket”. on the right). currently resides in the Volvo Museum. Both Italian prototypes were considered too futuristic. and instead in-house designer Jan Wilsgaarde's proposal was accepted. The ES engine was downgraded to 125 bhp (92 kW) by reducing the compression ratio with a thicker head gasket (engine variant B20F); although maximum power was slightly down the engine was less “peaky” and the car's on-the-road performance was actually improved.

 

This particular example has a genuine mileage of GENUINE 65. 00 from new backed up by a large file of old MOT certificates. The vehicle was subjected to a bodywork and mechanical restoration in the 1990′s ( a catalogue of invoivces are provided with the vehicle) and it has covered very little mileage since. The interior is original and retains a lovely “worn” patina that is not to be confused with being “tired” or “worn out” The seats are free of any rips or adverse wear. The sunroof is also free of any leaks and operates as it should.

The engine and automatic gearbox are smooth and free of any knocks/bangs or wines and develops good power on demand. A new stainless steel exhaust system was fitted a short time ago along with 4 new tyres. the jack and wheel brace are also present in the boot.

 

A sensibly priced p1800 for the condition and ready to be used this summer £8995
