"A car that can be made roadworthy with minor work. Drive it as-is afterward, or use it as a rolling restoration project. The potential is definitely there."

"A car that can be made roadworthy with minor work. Drive it as-is afterward, or use it as a rolling restoration project. The potential is definitely there."

Description

The car was sold new in December. According to hearsay from the previous owner, it is said that this car was driven by P.G. Gyllenhammar’s daughter. This is not documented but may possibly be traceable through the Swedish National Archives.

During the test drive, the automatic transmission did not shift into the highest gear. This issue might be resolved with a transmission fluid change. There is also a minor transmission fluid leak.

Some rust is present along the lower edges of the doors and rocker panels. There is also some minor rust and touch-ups in various areas of the bodywork.

The interior is in good usable condition, although there is a tear in the leather on the passenger side. The car was last inspected on May 13, 2021. The underside has not been inspected on a lift, so a rust-free undercarriage cannot be guaranteed. Extensive documentation comes with the car.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine runs smoothly and evenly. As previously mentioned, the transmission did not shift into the highest gear during the test drive. At the time of testing, the tachometer worked intermittently, while the rest of the instrumentation functioned satisfactorily.

    Braking performance is good, but since the car hasn't been driven for about five years, a general inspection and some maintenance may be needed. A newer exhaust system is installed. A rattling noise was noticed underneath the car, which could possibly be coming from the exhaust system.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in good usable condition. The aged leather upholstery has a tear on the right seat (see photo). The carpets and panels are in nice shape. The headliner is in good condition overall, with a minor flaw on the left side.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paint has a nice shine and was likely resprayed at some point during its lifetime. There are numerous rust spots scattered across the body. A touch-up has been done on the right rear fender with questionable results.

    The chrome and trim are in good condition. There is a crack in one of the front headlights. The wheels and tires are in functional condition with good tread, though they are somewhat aged. A tow bar is fitted.

  • General condition:

    A car that fundamentally feels solid. While it definitely requires some restoration, it still presents itself well in its current condition.

Facts about the model

Volvo P1800 ES är en klassisk bil som tillverkades av den svenska biltillverkaren Volvo mellan 1971 och 1973.



Bakgrund och Utveckling

Volvo P1800-serien introducerades första gången 1961 som en sportig tvådörrars coupé. Modellen blev snabbt populär och känd för sin eleganta design och tillförlitlighet.

P1800 ES är en vidareutveckling av den ursprungliga P1800-modellen, och den kallas ibland "Shooting Brake" på grund av sin unika kombination av coupé och kombi. Den designades av den svenska designern Pelle Petterson, och den kännetecknas av en slank och strömlinjeformad kaross.

Produktionen av P1800 ES pågick mellan 1971 och 1973, och totalt tillverkades cirka 8 000 exemplar.

P1800 ES hade en unibody-konstruktion och var byggd på samma plattform som P1800. Den hade en baklucka som kunde öppnas för att ge tillgång till ett rymligt lastutrymme, vilket var en innovativ funktion för sin tid.

P1800 ES var utrustad med en 2,0-liters fyrcylindrig motor som producerade cirka 130 hästkrafter. Motorn var kopplad till en manuell växellåda, men automatväxellåda var också ett alternativ.

Bilen kunde nå 0-100 km/h på cirka 10 sekunder, vilket var imponerande för sin tid.





P1800 ES fick stor uppmärksamhet när den användes av skådespelaren Roger Moore i den populära TV-serien "The Saint" under 1960-talet. Detta bidrog till att öka bilens status och göra den till en ikon.

Trots att produktionen avslutades på 1973, har P1800 ES en hängiven skara entusiaster och samlare. Många av dessa bilar bevaras och restaureras av bilentusiaster världen över.



Volvo P1800 ES representerar en intressant tid i Volvos historia, där företaget strävade efter att kombinera stil, prestanda och funktionalitet. Med sin unika design och pålitliga teknik har P1800 ES blivit en älskad klassiker bland bilentusiaster och fortsätter att fascinera människor än idag.
