Vehicle Description
CMC is pleased to present this 1973 Volvo P-1800ES. Our Example is
presented in the attractive Cypress Green with dark tan leather
interior. Having only 38,650 miles from new and being garage kept
from its long term ownership, our P-1800 is the one to
consider.
In the autumn of 1971, a new version of Volvo's famous 1800 model
was presented. The new version was called the 1800ES.
The 1800ES had a newly designed rear end compared with the previous
versions of the 1800. The roofline had been extended and the car
had a profile that was more reminiscent of an estate; a sports
wagon. The 1800ES had increased luggage capacity to provide extra
space for golfing or hunting equipment, for example.Under the body,
the technology in the 1800ES was the same as that in the other 1800
models.The new version was produced for two model years, 1972 and
1973. In 1972, both versions were produced in parallel, but only
the 1800ES was produced in 1973.
When the last cars were built in 1973 and production ended, this
was due to increasingly rigorous safety requirements in the USA in
particular. These would quite simply have been too expensive to
comply with. MODEL SPECIFICATIONS
