🧰 Description Overview
This 1971 Volvo P1800 is a well‑preserved, fuel‑injected example showing 50,830 original miles and benefitting from a high‑quality restoration completed in 2000. Powered by its original Bosch fuel‑injected B20E engine paired with an automatic transmission, it offers the durability and usability that made these later‑series P1800s such appealing grand touring coupes.
Beyond its condition and originality, this car carries an interesting piece of corporate and enthusiast history: it is one of three P1800s that were used for display at Ford’s corporate headquarters, underscoring its status as a standout example even among other classic Volvos. The restoration work has held up notably well, and the car remains in excellent overall condition, with cosmetics and mechanicals reflecting careful ownership and sparing use since.
The P1800’s timeless lines, compact 2+2 packaging, and robust B‑series drivetrain make it a favorite among classic European coupe enthusiasts, and the B20E’s Bosch fuel injection adds refinement and reliability over earlier carbureted versions. With its combination of low original mileage, documented quality restoration, and distinctive history, this 1971 P1800 represents a particularly attractive opportunity for collectors and drivers alike.
