Description
An original UK Volvo P1800E with 2 litre (B20) Bosch fuel injected engine with overdrive. The car was purchased from (Autokran-Centre) Falkenberg Sweden in 2022 as a UK registered car in running condition with sound body work. (See original 2022 advert photo below for further context)
Upon return to the UK (duty paid) the car has been further maintained, improved , upgraded and enjoyed whilst covering over 1, 500 miles of reliable periodic use. The car has invoices, MOT's and documented history from previous owners dating back to 1997. Although not required due to its historic status, I wanted the car to be sold with a current MOT. (Requiring some welding work on the anti roll bar and steering box mountings before passing). This was its first MOT since 2010.
This is a very tidy good condition example of this distinctive styled classic, its fun to drive and always gets admiring comment when driven out. The Pelle Petterson body styling has to be one of the best designed coupe of any period. I am selling due to limited use and now needing the space.
