For Sale: 1971 Volvo P1800E in Wayne, Pennsylvania

"Ursula" — A 1971 Volvo P1800 Restomod Unlike Any Other

Named for Ursula Andress — the original Bond girl — and inspired by the legendary Aston Martins of 1960s cinema, "Ursula" is a meticulously crafted restomod that delivers old-world glamour with modern-day confidence.

The P1800 is already one of the most elegant shapes ever put on four wheels, its design penned by Pelly Peterson under the guidance of Pietro Frua of the renowned Italian carrozzeria Ghia. Made famous by Roger Moore in The Saint (1962–1969), this particular car takes that iconic silhouette further with deleted bumpers and custom metalwork that sharpens every line. The interior retains its original 2+2 seating, recovered in rich red vinyl.

Sourced rust-free from California and fully restored by TripleF Automotive in Fort Worth, Texas, "Ursula" was built to be driven and enjoyed — not trailered and coddled.
