Vehicle Description
1967 Volvo 1800S The Volvo P1800 is a 2+2, front-engine, rear-drive
sports car manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars between 1961 and
1973. Originally a coupe (1961-1972), it was altered into a
shooting-brake for the duration of its production (1972-1973).
Styling was by Pelle Petterson under the tutelage of Pietro Frua
when Frua's studio was a subsidiary of the prestigious Italian
carrozzeria Ghia, and mechanicals derived from Volvo's dependable
Amazon/122 series. Marketed as a stylish touring car rather than a
sports car, the P1800 became widely known when driven by future
James Bond actor Roger Moore in the hit television series The Saint
which aired from 1962-1969. In 1998, an 1800S was certified as the
highest mileage private vehicle driven by the original owner in
non-commercial service � having exceeded three million miles (over
4.8 million km) as of 2013. 1800S As time progressed, Jensen had
problems with quality control, so the contract was ended early
after 6,000 cars had been built. In 1963 production was moved to
Volvo's Lundby Plant in Gothenburg and the car's name was changed
to 1800S (S standing for Sverige, or in English : Sweden). The
engine was improved with an additional 8 hp (6 kW). In 1966 the
four-cylinder engine was updated to 115 bhp (86 kW). Top speed was
175 km/h (109 mph).[3] In 1969 the B18 engine was replaced with the
2-litre B20B variant of the B20 giving 118 bhp (88 kW), though it
kept the designation 1800S. Please Note The Following **Vehicle
