SOLD!! Off to Mexico!!! 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 email us at
