A true style object on wheels, this excitingly beautiful 1973 Volvo P1800es is a feast for the eyes and heart. With its body-off restoration this car is a unique gem from the past. Its shiny metallic red, complete with Panna Sport wheels and modern wide tires, makes this showpiece an iconic eye-catcher that invites you to experience what real driving pleasure is.

Finding its roots in the fashionable 1970s, this Volvo is a great representation of its time. Responding to the popular demand for cars that were not only stylish but also sporty, Volvo produced a total of 8,077 P1800es’s during its two years of production (1972-1973). With its playful, elegant, and futuristic design, Volvo created a direct hit that fit perfectly with the zeitgeist.

Not only was the P1800es sought after by fans of reliable and stylish cars, but its design was also pioneering in terms of technology. The 1970s marked the beginning of an era in which technical innovations played an increasingly important role. And with this model, Volvo hit the nail on the head! For the P1800es, it's not just its distinctive lines but also the modern technology, such as the well-functioning air conditioning and advanced (disc-)braking system, that make driving it even more comfortable and safe.

A more beautiful P1800es is virtually impossible to find. This is due to the car's life cycle and the good care of its current owner. Our Volvo comes with the story of an entire body-off restoration. In collaboration with a renowned Volvo specialist, the current owner was able to fully revise this Volvo from top to bottom. From the new brakes to the exhaust system. From the fully revised engine and rear axle to the original black leather interior and the beautifully newly veneered wooden dashboard with Moto Lita steering wheel. Every detail is spot on. Even the distinctive windows and chrome/stainless steel parts of this model have been perfected, ameliorating the car’s beautiful appearance. And all of this is original! The Volvo is meticulously cared for, and the complete restoration process has been documented in an extensive photo report in which the transformation has been carefully recorded.

With this Volvo, you bring the sunshine into your home, and that's how you will find it drives too. The (fully revised) B20e engine is equipped with the original Volvo injection system, which ensures a smooth driving experience. The engine runs perfectly stationary, which can truly be called a rarity. Finally, the car has a top-working separate braking system, which provides extra control and safety while driving. A unique collectible and a pleasure to drive in. Are you interested or excited to come see this car in real-life? Then please contact us for an appointment.
