Original owner's manual MotoeXotica is pleased to announce another
iconic classic, a stunning 1973 Volvo P1800ES. It's said that Volvo
owners are some of the most meticulous and caring car owners in the
world...and this example shows it! This rare ES Volvo boasts a
recent repaint by the�previous owner�in�correct light blue metallic
. Both paint and body are in fantastic condition showing only minor
imperfections. The ES engine produced 125�bhp by reducing the
compression ratio with a thicker head gasket, although maximum
power was slightly down, the engine was less "peaky" and the car's
on-the-road performance was actually improved. Mated to the B20F
fuel injected engine is an extremely rare M41 4-speed manual
transmission with a Laycock overdrive. The addition of the
overdrive is vital for effortless highway speed cruising. Stopping
is handled by power assisted disc brakes. In addition, the 1970
model was the first 1800 with four-wheel disc brakes. This car also
sports 4 brand new tires with less then 200 miles on them. These
Volvo's were built to last, in fact, a Volvo 1800s still holds the
record for the highest mileage in the same vehicle with over 3
million miles in 2013! The Light blue interior was a rare color
selection for the light blue metallic exterior paint color, thus
making this beautiful P1800ES even more uncommon. Remaining mostly
original, the carpet, headliner and upholstery are in good
condition and very presentable with some minor signs of use.�The
dashboard appears to be mostly original; all of the gauges are
original, beautiful wood steering wheel as well as �the radio and
speakers, beautiful wood steering wheel and original Volvo shift
knob. Overall this Volvo is an excellent testament to classic
styling, build quality and diligent ownership, it would be a
challenge to find a comparable model in this great of condition and
originality. Only 8,077 examples of the ES were built in its two
model years. The car comes with the original owners manuals.
Odometer currently reads 50,085 miles which are original according
to previous owner. This vehicle is sold as is and mileage exempt on
clean clear title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN: 1836354003446
