SUMMARY
A rare and stylish practical classic that has benefitted from much recent care and expense.
DESCRIPTION
- Volvo introduced its final P1800 variant, the 1800ES, in 1972 as a two-door coupé-estate with a frameless, all-glass tailgate and a rear backrest that folded down to create a long flat loading area
- It was powered by a 1,986cc OHV four-cylinder with Bosch fuel-injection offering 124bhp at 6,000rpm mated to a 4-speed manual box with overdrive
- Dating from 1972, this smart example has been subject to a recent bare-metal restoration and superbly refinished in California White
- The original tan hide interior was in very good condition so was reinstated
- Detailed engine bay with alloy radiator. Fitted with period correct alloy wheels wearing new 195/65 R 15 tyres
- The 'ES' was one of the world's first 'Lifestyle Estates' (followed by Reliant's GTE and ultimately by BMW's 3-Series Touring). These distinctive, practical and rare Swedish sports tourers still look fantastic today and with Volvo's proven reputation for reliability, make really cool classics that stand out from the crowd
