Description
After finally acquiring the car, the current owner has enjoyed it at local shows and classic car events. Most recently, he invested over 45,000 SEK in a complete new interior, which has transformed the cabin and helped the car present exceptionally well both inside and out.
The car runs and drives very well and is ready for its next owner to enjoy. If I were keeping the car myself, the only jobs I would consider would be cosmetic improvements in the engine bay—cleaning and detailing the engine block, repainting the fan blades, fitting a fresh valve cover and generally tidying the area while retaining the original paintwork in the engine compartment. These are purely minor details on an otherwise very attractive and usable Volvo 1800S.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Easy to start with a little choke and, after a couple of minutes to warm up properly, the engine runs smoothly and quietly with no issues. The car is easy to drive, with a good-shifting gearbox, solid brakes, and is inspection-exempt.
It has recently been serviced, with recent work including the replacement of the fuel pump and clutch cylinder. The car is fitted with a newer set of Microlite alloy wheels wearing modern tyres. Also included is a full set of original steel wheels complete with the original chrome hubcaps. -
Interior condition
Interior has been completely renewed in every detail, including the seats, carpets, door panels, door cards, dashboard pad, headliner, and sun visors. A custom-made panel for the overdrive switch has also been fitted, finished in the same alloy trim as the dashboard for a factory-style appearance. All seats have been re-stuffed and rebuilt, making the cabin exceptionally comfortable and a pleasure to spend time in.
-
Exterior condition
Bodywork is clean and straight throughout, with no major dents, damage, or rust issues to report. The only point worth noting is that the chrome trim on the driver's door would benefit from a slight adjustment to improve its alignment. The underside is clean and tidy with no significant rust concerns visible, although there are some older signs of welding repairs and minor overspray around the fuel tank area.
The paintwork presents exceptionally well, with a deep shine and excellent finish throughout. Only a few very light washing marks can be found upon close inspection, with nothing that detracts from the overall appearance. Chrome work around the car is bright and presentable, with only minor oxidation visible around the boot handle and rear light surrounds (see pictures). The boot compartment is clean, although the carpet is currently missing. -
General condition
A car you can simply jump in and enjoy. good looking car that needs no major work for years to come. A little cosmetic tidying in the engine bay would take an already attractive car to the next level.
