"An older renovation that has been in good working order over the years."

Description

Swedish-sold 1800E registered in November 1969 and delivered new to architect Gösta Celander in Partille.

The following year, the car was transferred to his firm Arkitektgruppen CFL in Gothenburg, and a few years later it was again in Gösta's name. The car's current history begins in 1984 when it was refurbished. A lot of work such as front wings and other things was replaced. A new engine was ordered and it got a little extra power. Repainted in the original colour steel blue metallic. Then it was put on Pirelli Zero tyres and the suspension was lowered a bit. It came to be used extensively during the rest of the eighties on vacations and other trips. In 1998 it was put into the garage to stay there over many years. In 2020, it was taken to a Volvo specialist - Axelsson's restore in Klövdal - to be brought back to life. Everything mechanical was looked over and much was replaced. It was then inspected without remark and put away again.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    During the renovation in 1984, the B20E engine was reviewed by knowledgeable people from Volvo. It got a slightly tunned with a trimmed cam. The engine runs briskly and nice. Injectors were cleaned at the inspection in 2020. Since then the car has been stationary again and the cold start valve (choke) has stopped working and needs a simple service.

    Four-speed gearbox with overdrive that works as it should. Equipped with a sound system that was top class in 1984 - very powerful and still sounds great today. The original radio is available.

    The fuel and oil temp gauge are out of order.

    Almost all documentation and receipts for work that was carried out at that time have been preserved.

    During the renovation in 2020, among other things, the starter motor, water pump and the entire brake system were replaced with a new master cylinder and everything. New tyres and a new exhaust pipe are fitted. It has been pulled a bit too tight and rubs against the floor in a few places.

    Receipts for everything are available and much of what was done to the car can be seen here:

  • Interior condition:

    The upholstery has held up well and the leather is in very good condition. Everything in the interior is original. The headliner is completely equipped with a speaker arch of an eighties design. Carpets intact but sun-bleached. There is some minor damage on one side of the door and some small cracks can be seen on the instrument panel and the lid of the glove box in the centre console. For 330,000 km, it can still be said to be in surprisingly good condition on the inside.

  • Exterior condition:

    We go back to 1984 again - Then everything was invested in body, paint and engine. The chrome was not touched and is in patinated condition. Among other things, the wings and front were completely replaced - professionally done. There are repairs in the floor and wheel arches that are not as nicely done and probably of an older date. The paintwork has received some scratches and small damages. Most noticeable is at the joints of the sills where it has fermented. The glass panes have some scratches and likewise, the chrome and trim are the original ones and were not replaced. The bumpers are very patinated with some hints of rust. There has also been some rust in the bodywork and left rear wheel arch, and there are some bubbles in the paint on the body under the rear bumper. A cross-beam was replaced during the last renovation.

  • General condition:

    The 1800E is the ultimate evolution of the P1800 with the novelty of fuel injection and much shared with the Volvo 140 instead of the Amazon.

    With some attention and adjustments, this is a car in good used condition that is nice to drive as is or a very good starting point for a restoration.
