"The car runs and drives well, with a functioning overdrive, good brakes, and a stable feel. It recently received a new petrol tank and the rear section of the exhaust was replaced. The timing needs adjustment and a general review, but otherwise, it is ready to drive as is and is exempt from inspection."

Description

This Swedish-sold car appears to have originated from the Jonköping area and has had a total of 10 owners, with the current owner having held it for over 21 years. It came equipped with Ford Mustang alloy wheels when purchased by the current owner. About 18 years ago, the car underwent a partial repaint and now shows some signs of blisters and bubbles, mainly around the wings and lower doors, but there are no serious rust issues—"see pictures." The interior is complete, though both front seats are worn and have been repaired, and the dashboard panel has cracked; however, the rear seats, headliner, and door cards are in good condition. The engine bay retains its original paint, and everything is in order. The owner frequently used the car during the summer months, and it holds many fond family memories. However, due to illness, it is time for the 1800 to find another Volvo enthusiast. Some older inspection reports and the handbook are included, and the mileage is recorded at least at 162,946 km.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The car starts immediately with a smoothly running engine and drives well, but it will require a minor review to adjust the engine timing, as it slightly overruns when the engine is stopped. The alloy wheels are in good condition, as are the older tires.

  • Interior condition

    Interior is perfectly usable as is, though it shows signs of wear, particularly the leather seats and a cracked dashboard panel. Additionally, the glass on the rev counter and speedometer is also cracked. A quick visit to VParts for new seat covers would immediately enhance the car's appearance by 50%.

  • Exterior condition

    Bodywork is straight with a minor dent on the left corner panel near the bonnet, and the sills are solid with no standout rust issues. The underbody is in good condition, displaying some older signs of welding and a few spots of surface rust, but nothing major. Upon closer inspection, you might notice blisters and some orange peel in the paintwork—"see pictures." The chrome is overall clean, bright, and complete, featuring a special grill with extra lights, adding to the car's aesthetics.

  • General condition

    You have two straightforward choices: Option one is to perform a basic engine check and continue driving the car as is, enjoying it as a summer vehicle for many years. Alternatively, you can opt for a comprehensive restoration to fully renovate the car. The decision is yours?

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
