THE ESSENTIALS

SOLD!! Off to Mexico!!!
This is a terrific classic to enjoy as a daily driver or to take to regional shows. It has a long history as being owned by a leader within the Volvo club. It has all the right specs: 4-speed manual transmission, factory air conditioning and fastidiously maintained with detailed records. And with only 32,500 miles since new, this is one to collect.
All maintenance and repairs have been completed to make this a terrific driving 1800E. The headers and other modifications have increased the coupes horsepower to make it a more spirited experience! It just completed the 650 mile Arizona Governors Cup Tour without any issue except lots of thumbs ups and smiles!
This 1972 Volvo P1800E coupe is presented in a stunning color combination of Sun Yellow over black. Under previous ownership the car was professionally repainted along with many enhancements, including IPD suspension and headers. The car is powered by a Volvo B20 1,986-cc inline four-cylinder fuel-injected engine and paired to a four-speed manual transmission.
The Volvo rides on factory wheels; four-wheel disc brakes bring the car to a safe stop. The interior is completed in the factory black vinyl and features a wood dash with Smiths instrumentation as well as a correct period radio and cassette player.
Volvo debuted its front engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car in 1961. Initially named the P1800, Volvo contracted the British firm Jensen to build 10,000 cars. The partnership, however, was short lived, with Jensen having difficulty with quality control. Volvo opted to move production internally in 1963. For 1970 Volvo debuted the 1800E, and the cars now featured a more powerful fuel-injected engine and four-wheel disc brakes.
Initially made famous by the television show The Saint, starring Roger Moore, the Volvo 1800 has developed a cult following. From the beautiful 1960s styling and desirable color combination, to its modern fuel-injected engine and four-wheel-disc brakes, this 1971 Volvo 1800E is an excellent collector vehicle, and arguably one of the most iconic models to hail from Sweden.

The P1800E is a modern collectible that is popular worldwide. This must be one of the lowest mile original cars and with the four-speed manual and air conditioning it has all the right stuff! Perhaps most importantly, it has been in Arizona most of its life and is rust free. If you are looking to add a P1800E to your collection, this could be your car.

Interesting Fact: The Volvo P1800E was originally marketed as a touring car but is actually a front-engine sports car. Though it wasn’t an E, a Volvo 1800S variant is famous for having the highest mileage on a private, non-commercial vehicle at 3.2 million miles.   Desiring a sports car that could compete in the American and European markets, Volvo decided to manufacture the 1800 series. In 1970, the 1800E was released with features a B20E engine that allows for a top speed of 118 miles per hour and a 0 to 62.1 acceleration of 9.5 seconds.    The 1800E was the first model to actually feature four-wheel disc brakes and a new “F” head on the engine. As for the vehicles name, the “E” was derived from the German word “Einspritzung” which means fuel injection in English. Volvo is known now for making mid-priced vehicles, so managing to acquire a sports car produced by the company, such as the 1800E, is a rare find!
