Description

Transmission: 4 gears, Manual gearbox
Model year: 2022
Registration number: VO-33-26

This is a beautifully restored Volvo P1800S. The car was delivered new in the United States in 1967 and fully restored a few years ago. The work was carried out at a high level at the time and the car still looks beautiful.

The body is very neat with nice thin sheet metal and correct fits. The chrome moldings fit nicely everywhere and things like the bumpers and the original hubcaps also look beautiful. The "Steelblue" paint was very well sprayed at the time and still looks very nice. The chromed bumpers look like they can be pulled through a ring and they fit nicely everywhere. The rubber strips around the doors are of course also in very good condition.

The interior has recently been completely reupholstered with beautiful black leather and well-fitting black carpets. Also things such as the controls and instruments all look very good and function as they should. The counters in the Volvo P1800S are a feast for the eyes anyway, true works of art, purely functional Swedish design. The headliner is also in very good condition.

The technology has already been completely overhauled. The B18 engine runs very well and is wonderfully smooth. The engine produces 115 horsepower and is mated to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The chassis is in good condition and the brakes can also be precisely dosed. The steering is of course free of play and contributes to the pleasant driving behavior of the Volvo. The engine is fitted with two revised SU carburettors. The top speed is 175 kilometers per hour, an excellent performance for that time.

The car comes with some general information. What it really comes down to in short is that this is a well-restored and overhauled car that not only looks good but also drives wonderfully.
