This is a terrific classic to enjoy as a daily driver or to take to
regional shows. It has a long history as being owned by a leader
within the Volvo club. It has all the right specs: 4-speed manual
transmission, factory air conditioning and fastidiously maintained
with detailed records. And with only 32,500 miles since new, this
is one to collect. All maintenance and repairs have been completed
to make this a terrific driving 1800E. The headers and other
modifications have increased the coupes horsepower to make it a
more spirited experience! It just completed the 650 mile Arizona
Governors Cup Tour without any issue except lots of thumbs ups and
smiles! This 1972 Volvo P1800E coupe is presented in a stunning
color combination of Sun Yellow over black. Under previous
ownership the car was professionally repainted along with many
enhancements, including IPD suspension and headers. The car is
powered by a Volvo B20 1,986-cc inline four-cylinder fuel-injected
engine and paired to a four-speed manual transmission. The Volvo
rides on factory wheels; four-wheel disc brakes bring the car to a
safe stop. The interior is completed in the factory black vinyl and
features a wood dash with Smiths instrumentation as well as a
correct period radio and cassette player. Volvo debuted its front
engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car in 1961. Initially named the
P1800, Volvo contracted the British firm Jensen to build 10,000
cars. The partnership, however, was short lived, with Jensen having
difficulty with quality control. Volvo opted to move production
internally in 1963. For 1970 Volvo debuted the 1800E, and the cars
now featured a more powerful fuel-injected engine and four-wheel
disc brakes. Initially made famous by the television show The
Saint, starring Roger Moore, the Volvo 1800 has developed a cult
following. From the beautiful 1960s styling and desirable color
combination, to its modern fuel-injected engine and four-wheel-disc
brakes, this 1971 Volvo 1800E is an excellent collector vehicle,
and arguably one of the most iconic models to hail from Sweden. The
P1800E is a modern collectible that is popular worldwide. This must
be one of the lowest mile original cars and with the four-speed
manual and air conditioning it has all the right stuff! Perhaps
most importantly, it has been in Arizona most of its life and is
rust free. If you are looking to add a P1800E to your collection,
this could be your car. Call Harry today at +1.602.245.7200 or
