"It’s clear this car has been well cared for over the years—despite an older renovation, it still looks great. And while I might be a little biased, this is easily one of the best color combinations ever seen on a Volvo 1800."

"It’s clear this car has been well cared for over the years—despite an older renovation, it still looks great. And while I might be a little biased, this is easily one of the best color combinations ever seen on a Volvo 1800."

Description

Swedish-sold Volvo 1800S with 13 registered owners. The current owner purchased the car three years ago from a Volvo enthusiast who had owned it for the previous decade. The car underwent a renovation approximately 20–30 years ago and still presents very well, with no rust or visible damage. Finished in a striking grey with a red leather interior—one of the most eye-catching combinations available.

The interior is clean and well-kept, complemented by bright chrome details and a set of attractive wheels. Chrome trim shows only minor oxidation and a few dents, and the car remains in solid mechanical condition. At some point, it was upgraded with a larger intake manifold and twin carburetors, requiring a small modification to the inner wing for clearance.

A special touch: the inside of the boot lid bears the signature of the car’s designer, Pelle Petterson. The odometer reads 46,667 km, but the true mileage is likely at least 146,667 km—though this cannot be confirmed.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts instantly and runs well, though a routine service is recommended as it hasn’t been driven much over the past year. Smooth gearshift with fully functioning overdrive, solid brakes, and good road handling. The oil temperature gauge is not working. Fitted with nice wheels and good older tires. Inspection-exempt forever.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is complete and well-kept, with nice leather seats front and rear—no damage, just a few small marks on the rear seat. The only notable flaws are a small crack and mark on the top edge of the door card and a repair on the front panel below the radio (see pictures). Otherwise, everything is in good condition. All instrumentation works, except for the oil temperature gauge and clock.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car presents very well, with straight body panels and no dents, damage, or signs of rust. Doors, sills, and boot fit nicely, and the underbody is clean with no rust issues. Chrome work is bright overall, with minor oxidation on the bumpers. The passenger door trim could be better aligned, and there are a few small dents in the chrome around the rear window and front grille. The paintwork is bright and clean, with only a few small marks and a light scratch on the rear panel near the boot—easily polished out.

  • General condition:

    A nice and attractive example in one of the best color combinations. Just needs a routine service, and it's ready to be driven and enjoyed this summer.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • 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.

  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
