The introduction of the successor P1800S in 1963 - S for Sweden where the car was now produced – saw improved quality control, and horsepower output upped to 108bhp. Fuel injection was standardized in 1969, maximum power increasing to 130bhp, with four-wheel disc brakes arriving at the same time. By the end of the 1960s, the model was beginning to look dated but the introduction of the Reliant GTE-influenced P1800ES sports estate extended its lease of life into the early 1970s.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This lovely P1800S Coupe was constructed at the improved, Göteborg-based Volvo plant during the Summer of 1963, and therefore bears the 'S' designation. The car's chassis data plate further reveals that the new P1800S had been built for the U.S. market equipped with a 4-speed manual gearbox and a left-hand drive steering arrangement. Just as seen on the car today, Color code 79, for Pearl White, was further optioned. Cosmetic and mechanical refurbishing work has been performed over the years, and chrome wire wheels have been fitted, giving the elegant Volvo and even sportier look. Inside, one is greeted by the stunning red interior and lovely early-type turquoise dials in the dashboard. This is indeed a fine example of the iconic P1800.
