1972 Volvo P1800ES

It is no secret that we love interesting cars as well as quality originals, this P1800S is an example of both. The P1800 Sports Coupe seemed to come out of nowhere. It took everyone by surprise when it arrived in 1961 as Volvo was considered a sober Swedish automaker known to most Americans for plain looking, utilitarian family cars. The beautifully shaped low roof and curvaceous lines combined with a Ferrari-style “eggcrate” grill and modest tailfins was completely unexpected of Volvo, but the design was as wonderful as any car available at that time. The P1800 landed a leading role in the then hit television series, The Saint, where actor Roger Moore was widely seen dashing around in his yellow P1800 for 118 episodes. Road and Track magazine wrote, (P1800) “is a true sports car of a type we can expect to become extremely popular”.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1972 Volvo 1800ES Sport Wagon. This well documented two door “Shooting Break” design Classic is in impeccable shape, sporty and fun to drive. This Swedish Exotic was actually featured in Hagerty Classic Car Magazine in the summer of 2015.
