Was $27,995.00 Now $23,500.00This 1973 Volvo 1800 Wagon is an
iconic cult vehicle that is very clean hard to find. It is very
well presented and features the Borg Warner 3 speed automatic
transmission.While the P1800 was more of a stylish touring car
rather than a sports car when it came to its speed capabilities,
the P1800 first became popular when it was featured as the main car
driven by Roger Moore in the hit television series The Saint which
aired from 1962-1969. The P1800 featured styling by Pietro Frua and
mechanicals derived from Volvo's Amazon/122 series.The ES's rear
backrest folded down to create a long flat loading area. As an
alternative to the usual four-speed plus overdrive manual
transmission, a Borg-Warner three-speed automatic was available in
the 1800ES. With stricter American safety and emissions standards
looming for 1974, Volvo did not see fit to spend the considerable
amount that would be necessary to redesign the small-volume 1800
ES. Only 8,077 examples of the ES were built in its two model
years.For the last model year, 1973, only the 1800ES wagon was
produced. Total production of the 1800 line from 1961 through 1973
was 47,492 units. Production ended on June 27, 1973,although Volvo
was in negotiations with Coggiola concerning a possibleP1800ESC.
