Volvo 1800S B18 — 1964

This P1800S was sold in Sweden and has undergone renovations to its bodywork, engine, and interior. Impressively, it has been owned by the same individual for over 30 years. The car's documentation and history are unparalleled and the best we have ever encountered, and the mileage of 154 335 km is accurate.

"I have driven many p1800 cars over the years, but this one stands out as one of the best. I recently drove it 60 km to our depot and it performed flawlessly. The engine is incredibly responsive and pairs perfectly with the smooth gearbox, clutch, and brake, as well as the fully functional overdrive. The only minor issue is some wind noise coming from a window seal, and the steering full lock left could would need adjustment and alignment. However, it is exempt from inspection/MOT, so you can look forward to many happy miles ahead."

Description

The car was initially delivered to a woman owner in Stockholm who had requested extra-fitted Volvo wing-mounted mirrors, which are still present today. The vehicle has had a total of seven owners since then, but only six of them were distinct individuals. The current owner, who shared ownership of the car with a friend, purchased it together in 1991 and undertook renovations until it was finished in 2020. The friend later sold their share to the current owner in 2020, as they wanted to buy a Porsche 911.

The car had been previously renovated with new wings and sill in the mid-1980s and repainted. However, after rebuilding the engine and renovating the gearbox, as well as fully rebuilding the suspension, the decision was made to completely strip the paint back to bare metal and repaint the car, except for the engine bay. The interior was also entirely reupholstered in leather by an ex-Volvo employee who had access to the original seat templates. The gauges were tested and repaired, and the only non-functional part is the clock. The car was additionally treated with proper body underseal, which has preserved it well, but it has never been driven in the winter.

As of its completion in 2020, the car had a mileage of 149,400 kilometers. And today the mileage is only 154,335 kilometers 23 years later. The owner remarks that they have driven their lawnmower for a longer distance. Thus, the only reason for selling the car is due to its infrequent use.

Included in the folder are a plethora of old receipts, providing a comprehensive record of past repairs and maintenance. The folder also contains the car's owner history, photographs, inspection reports, and the original handbook, among other valuable documents. Please refer to the pictures for further details.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car has been meticulously maintained and all components are in good working order after the renovation, with worn parts having been replaced and serviced. While there is a need for steering alignment adjustment on full lock, this does not pose any issues while driving, and there is no evidence of tire wear. The new owner can simply hop in and enjoy the driving experience without any worries.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior of the car remains in remarkable condition, with no notable issues. The carpets, seats, headliner, dashboard, and instrumentation are all in excellent shape. The car also comes equipped with a fully working Blaupunkt radio and electric aerial, with the only repair needed being the clock.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car's bodywork is in excellent condition, with no visible rust and straight lines. As previously mentioned, the wings and sill were replaced in the 1980s and the car was fully repainted in the late 1990s. The underbody is exceptionally clean, although there are indications of an older floor repair. The chrome work is all shiny and well-maintained, and a new grill has been fitted while the old one is included.

    The paintwork is impressive, looking clean and smooth overall, with only a few minor issues. There are three small damages - a 7cm scratch/paint touch-up on the left rear wing, a small 3cm dent on the top of the left front wing that can be easily repaired, and a 30cm long scratch on the right rear wing, as can be seen in the pictures. Nevertheless, these issues are easily fixed and do not detract from the car's overall appearance.

  • General condition:

    This car is a true driver's delight, boasting a remarkable history and having been owned for an extended period of time. Undoubtedly, it will bring immense joy to the new owner for many years to come.
