The Volvo P
1800 is undoubtedly the most elegantly, exquisitely and dynamically
designed Volvo of the twentieth century.
The Volvo P
1800 came onto the market in 1961 as a coupe and was initially built at
Jensen’s in England. The P1800 became world-famous for the series of
"The Saint" in the 1960s, with Roger Moore in the leading role.
After building 6000 cars in 1963, production of the P 1800 was relocated
to Sweden, and the car was then named the P1800 "S" (Sverige).
In September 1969, the P1800 E came onto the market with a Bosch fuel
injection system, a modified dashboard and had disc brakes all around.
The P1800 ES estate /coupe came onto the market in 1971.
