This Volvo P1800E is a handsome example of the characterful Swedish coupe, reported to be in immaculate ‘near-concours’ condition. Under the bonnet is a fuel injected 2.0-litre inline-four engine, producing around 88kW and driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Delivered new to the UK and first registered in July 1970, this P1800E had six owners, prior to being acquired by the current owner in July 2019 and imported to Australia. It was previously treated to an extensive restoration between 1988 and 2001, and more recently received a full repaint after arriving in Australia. The odometer displays 228,200 miles from new. This 1800E is finished in Dark Red with black leather and vinyl trim, accented by a smart wood inlay dashboard. It rides on 15-inch black machine cut alloy wheels shod in Dunlop Sport Classic tyres. Equipment includes a three-spoke steering wheel, Smiths instrument dials, manual winding windows and opening front quarterlights, and a retro-styled stereo with aux-in connectivity. The car is now fitted with an exhaust temperature monitor and an electric power steering system. Please refer to photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition.
