The P1800 project was started in 1957 because Volvo wanted a sports car.

Roger Moore was so smitten with the Volvo P1800 that he bought one for his own personal use.

This 1964 Volvo P 1800 has been owned by the same owner since 1971 who enjoyed the car so much that when he was no longer able to drive it he simply stored it. Unfortunately though, ime and the elements were not very kind to this car which had some body work done in the past and when you mix new rust with old bondo and some fiberglass, ell, t isn’t pretty!(see all pics!) The exterior is fairly complete with most trim present as well as good glass and tight, olid doors. ________________________ The interior is mostly complete making for an easy restoration if you choose to pursue a museum quality Volvo P1800 and includes a unique rear seat A/C unit added. The engine had not been started in years and will need complete servicing before attempting to start it for the first time and as the car hasn’t been driven in years and will also need complete servicing and inspection to ensure reliability and safety before you will be able to drive this car! No assessment or determination of functionality can be made of any component or system on this car. (DUE TO OUR FILMING SCHEDULE WE CAN NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICE OR REPAIRS OR BUILD THIS CAR FOR YOU) you will need to have it towed or trailered from here_________________ Underside pics reveal a fairly solid chassis and suspension presence with minimal superficial rust present (again, ee all pics).
