As per the data tag, this Volvo was specifically built for California delivery from the factory.  Presumably bought new at San Diego Volvo in Kearny Mesa, CA, this Volvo was non-operational and was in storage since 1974.  For many decades this Volvo was owned by the President of the San Diego chapter of the Volvo Owners Club.  He continued to have it on non-operational status for many years while he continued to work on the car and improve it.  By July 2020, the Volvo was acquired by Martin Scholz of Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.  Mr. Scholz continued its non-operational status and stored it until acquired by Classic Promenade.

The livery is a nice quality repaint in its original Light Blue Metallic (Color Code 111).  There are several small touched up chips from normal use and the paint has wonderful shine and luster.  Most of the chrome and stainless steel are original and are in good condition.  The rear taillights and bumper have some light pitting and there are light dents in a couple of the stainless-steel side strips.  The original 15-inch wheels have also been repainted and mounted with 185/65 Blacklion Landscape blackwall BH15 radial tires.  The exterior is well accessorized with dual side mirrors, and twin polished exhaust outlets.  We love the full glass rear hatch allowing the occupants a clear view to the back of the car.  Overall, the exterior looks sharp and reflects a very low mileage original car.  (See the 130 photos and three videos on the Classic Promenade website)

The interior looks sharp with its Light Blue vinyl upholstery and blue carpeting (Upholstery 460-888).  The upholstery and carpeting are in very nice condition and the reclining seats are very comfortable and appropriate for spirited driving.  The dashboard is black with woodgrain dashboard trim, a locking center console, an AM/FM radio and wood shift knob.  The upper dash pad has been covered and the lower dash pad has a small crack.  Otherwise, the interior appears very original and in great condition.  We love the blue seats and door panels with the Light Blue Metallic paint.  It looks very modern today!

The engine compartment is in excellent condition.  It is detailed for show and looks great.  The 2.0-liter B20F inline-four is equipped with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection and was factory rated at 130 horsepower.  This is the final iteration of the engine and supplies ample power and acceleration.  Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with Laycock de Normanville electric overdrive.  The four-wheel power-assisted brakes are excellent and give a sense of confidence.  The Volvo has been serviced and is ready to be enjoyed.

We have this priced very well.  We see this valued easily as a No. 2 example based on its exceptionally low mileage and being completely free of rust.  The Hagerty Value for a No. 2 example is $41,000.  1973 Volvo 1800ES Base | Hagerty Valuation Tools

All maintenance and repairs have been completed to make this a terrific driving 1800E. It can be driven and enjoyed anywhere without any issue, except lots of thumbs ups and smiles!

This 1972 Volvo P1800E coupe is presented in a stunning color combination of Maroon over black. Under previous ownership the car was professionally repainted along with many enhancements. 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. with overdrive. The present owner has spent thousands with a vintage Volvo specialist and all mechanical systems have been checked or rebuilt. It is ready to drive anywhere, anytime.

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 Blaupunkt radio and cassette player. The air conditioning works well and the tinted windows helps reduce the sun from heating up the passenger compartment.

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 is one of the most solid rust free original cars and with the four-speed manual with overdrive and air conditioning it has all the right stuff! Perhaps most importantly, it has been in California and Arizona most of its life and is truly rust free. If you are looking to enjoy a P1800E, this could be your car.
