The Light blue interior was a rare color selection for the light blue metallic exterior paint color, thus making this beautiful P1800ES even more uncommon. These Volvo’s were built to last, in fact, a Volvo 1800s still holds the record for the highest mileage in the same vehicle with over 3 million miles in 2013! This car also sports 4 brand new tires with less then 200 miles on them. In addition, the 1970 model was the first 1800 with four-wheel disc brakes. Stopping is handled by power assisted disc brakes. The addition of the overdrive is vital for effortless highway speed cruising.

Mated to the B20F fuel injected engine is an extremely rare M41 4-speed manual transmission with a Laycock overdrive. The ES engine produced 125 bhp by reducing the compression ratio with a thicker head gasket, although maximum power was slightly down, the engine was less “peaky” and the car’s on-the-road performance was actually improved. Both paint and body are in fantastic condition showing only minor imperfections. This rare ES Volvo boasts a recent repaint by the previous owner in correct light blue metallic. It’s said that Volvo owners are some of the most meticulous and caring car owners in the world…and this example shows it!
