Vehicle Description
It is no secret that we love interesting cars as well as quality
originals, this P1800ES is an example of both. The P1800 Sports
Coupe seemed to come out of nowhere. It took everyone by surprise
when it arrived in 1961 as Volvo was considered a sober Swedish
automaker known to most Americans for plain looking, utilitarian
family cars. The beautifully shaped low roof and curvaceous lines
combined with a Ferrari-style "eggcrate" grill and modest tailfins
was completely unexpected of Volvo, but the design was as wonderful
as any car available at that time. The P1800 landed a leading role
in the then hit television series, The Saint, where actor Roger
Moore was widely seen dashing around in his yellow P1800 for 118
episodes. Road and Track magazine wrote, (P1800) "is a true sports
car of a type we can expect to become extremely popular".
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1972 Volvo 1800ES Sport
Wagon. This well documented two door "Shooting Break" design
Classic is in impeccable shape, sporty and fun to drive. This
Swedish Exotic was actually featured in Hagerty Classic Car
Magazine in the summer of 2015. The pictures are beautiful but this
1800ES looks even better riding atop its rare Dealer added Dunlop
Alloy Wheels. The 1972 Volvo 1800ES is a must consider for any
collector, enthusiast who values unique cars that possess design
excellence, originality and mechanical fitness. The vintage
European market is red hot, that the Volvo P1800ES is poised to
significantly increase in value and the example offered here is an
excellent opportunity at this price. Call or email for more
