"We all know the interest that a 1800S generates, and there's certainly work to be done here. Whether you want to drive around in a car that looks like a youth car from the early 80s or invest in a restoration, you get a chance to own a design classic."

Description

This car was sold new in January 1966. The seventh owner enters the picture in 1986 when he buys the car from his brother. At that time, the car was painted in California White, originally it was Graphite Gray (color code 80). The car became a fun youth car and was driven quite a bit, but over the years, it was driven less and less. From the mid-'90s, it rested in a woodshed, only to come out on the roads again in 2017. Throughout the years, the front fenders have been replaced, and unfortunately, their trims have been lost. The floor pans have been repaired. According to information, the engine has been replaced.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts easily but ran a bit rough before it warmed up; then it ran better. The mechanical aspects seem to work but require inspection and servicing. Some parts are missing, including the air filter. The undercarriage hasn't been checked on a lift, and there may be parts that need attention.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in a well-preserved original condition but appears to be mostly complete. There are details that need to be examined, including a special solution for the ignition lock. The tachometer is not functioning, and there are also a few gauges with uncertain functionality.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car has an older repaint. It lacks trims on the front fenders. The glass, rubber, and wheels, among other things, are functional but could also be renovated. Rubber details on bumpers, emblems, and trim are missing. Some of them are included in the accompanying box.

  • General condition:

    A 1800S, the last year with the curved trim on the doors, is a hot and sought-after car. Whether you want to restore it, drive it as a rolling project, or fix it and drive it as it is, this is a sought-after model. As a sports car from the swinging '60s with its Swedish/Italian/English roots and expression, this is a true icon and classic."

Facts about the model

Volvos vackraste bil enligt många. Ritad av Pelle Petterson i slutet av 1950-talet. Byggdes från 1961 till och med 1972. Ersattes av kombimodellen ES 1972. 1973 upphörde produktionen främst på grund av nya krocksäkerhetsregler i USA, (med tjocka kofångare).

De första två åren monterades bilarna i England, hos Jensen. Härefter byggdes de i Torslanda och fick i då tillägget S för svenskbyggd, framförallt för att markera att de nu byggdes i Sverige. Made in Sweden gav på den tiden en kvalitetsstämpel, som de engelskbyggda kanske inte riktigt nådde upp till. Så from i april blev det 1800S. Först någon månad som årsmodell 1963. Därefter årsmodell 1964. Inga större förändringar. Till årsmodell 1965 hände dock en del, precis som för övriga Volvovagnar. Ny kylargrill hela stötfångare fram, nya fälgar och navkapslar. Till årsmodell 1966 fick de högre motoreffekt genom nytt grenrör, nytt avgassystem, permanentsmord framvagn och förbättrad bakhjulsupphängning. Det blev också sista året med en karaktäristiska uppböjda sidolisten på dörrarna. Just årsmodell 1966 byggdes i 4.500 exemplar.

Det byggdes totalt cirka 36.000 bilar.
