Seller's Notes

A stylish and charming 1960s GT coupe, this Volvo 1800S is presented in a classic colour combination and benefits from a previous restoration and recent interior refurbishment. It is powered by a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated inline-four, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This example was restored in 2004 and 2009, with additional refurbishment in 2021/2022, and a full interior re-trim completed in 2025. This example has been with the seller for three and a half years. The odometer indicates 10,163 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1968 This 1800S is finished in an appealing shade of green, over a tan leatherette-trimmed interior, featuring a contrasting black dashboard, grey carpets, embossed Volvo logos on the door cards and rear seat back, and textured metal and chrome trim. It rides on a set of aftermarket 15-inch cross-spoke wire wheels finished in white with chrome two-spoke knock-offs, fitted with Pirelli Cinturato tyres. Equipment includes mudflaps, a wood-rimmed Moto Lita steering wheel, Smiths gauges, a heater, a Blaupunkt push-button radio, push-out front quarter light windows, and an analogue clock. The car is accompanied by a service manual and a collection of invoices for parts and servicing from current and prior owners. Also included are the original steering wheel, the original steel wheels with hubcaps, and a variety of miscellaneous spares. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the body was restored in 2004 and 2009, with further restoration work completed in 2021/22. The door jambs are reported to retain their original paintwork. The interior has been fully re-trimmed with correct tan upholstery and grey carpets, including new luggage straps. The seller notes that the interior light is currently inoperative. The most recent roadworthiness test was on 8 June 2022 at an indicated 10,070 miles. The seller states that the last maintenance was in June 2024 at an indicated 10,100 miles, comprising an engine oil and filter change, carried out by the owner. In September 2021, a major service was completed, including an engine oil and filter change, new spark plugs, a carburettor service and tune, a brake fluid flush, a new fan belt, a wheel alignment, and a roadworthy inspection. This Volvo 1800S is a handsome example of the lauded classic Swedish GT car, benefiting from recent interior refurbishment and a prior restoration. Presented with an appealing green-over-tan colour scheme, distinctive styling, and boasting a comfortable cabin and a rewarding analogue driving experience, it would make an excellent addition to any collection of classics, and a charming companion for weekend drives and classic car show visits alike.
