"A sensible car with potential."

Description

Current owner acquired this Volvo 1800 ES in November 2002, meaning he has owned it for 22 years. He purchased it from a man in Hultsfred. The car was imported to Sweden from the USA in November 2000. During the owner’s tenure, the car has been driven sparingly, approximately 700 miles in 22 years, averaging about 32 miles per year. The Volvo is considered a rolling project, and several improvements have been made under the owner’s care. The final drive has been rebuilt in Köping, changing the original gearing (4.3) to 3.91 with a differential lock. The front seats have been reupholstered, and the instrument panel has also been reupholstered on the top. The brake system has been inspected and subsequently refurbished, including the installation of a new brake servo. The Volvo received new tires in 2023. Included with the car is an AC compressor and associated parts, as shown in the picture. The current owner has used the car for attending car meetings and some local excursions, which may explain the low annual mileage.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car’s engine and gearbox sound and function well. However, the release bearing makes noise when disengaging and should be replaced. The oil temperature gauge shows red after driving for a while, which occurred during photography and inspection on a very hot day. The valve for the heater unit is broken, but a replacement valve is included with the car, as shown in the picture.

  • Interior condition:

    The front seats have been reupholstered and re-stuffed. The upper surface of the instrument panel has been reupholstered. The headliner is in good condition with a small hole. Otherwise, the interior shows some signs of wear, as depicted in the photos.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paint is in less than ideal condition, with cracks and touch-ups in several areas. There is some rust present, including a few rust blisters, especially around the headlights as shown in the pictures. There are minor dents on the trim and the body also has some small dents.

  • General condition:

    This Volvo 1800 ES is in a drivable condition. It can be used as it is, with minor fixes addressed, or it can be viewed as a rolling project for gradual restoration. Overall, the body is fairly solid despite some noted imperfections.

Facts about the model

Volvo 1800 ES was introduced as a way for Volvo to extend the life of the 1800 model, which had been in production since 1961 with few significant changes. The approach was to transform the car from the rear seats backward into a “shooting brake,” an English term for a car adapted for hunting, typically featuring two doors. The result was a spacious and practical luggage compartment accessed through a glass hatch. Both hinges and handles were integrated directly into the glass, which initially made many owners nervous, but it proved to be a functional solution.

Production of the 1800 ES spanned only two model years, 1972 and 1973, totaling 8,077 units. It was discontinued due to the increasing cost of meeting stricter safety regulations in the USA, where the majority of ES models (about 90%) were exported.
