VOLVO P1800S (1964) / Quality classic, good investment, and fun

[@garyckratz]

I owned a 1972 P1800E in the mid 1970s. One of my favorite cars!

[@Waspfella]

Simply a stylish classic the likes we'll NEVER see again ...great video guys.

[@tedecker3792]

My 63 was the 30th one built in Sweden, serial number 6030. Wish I had kept it.

It is so fun to have Michael in your episodes. He is great fun and a natural presenter. Its clear that you are long time friends and he knows where Stu's buttons are hidden. Very entertaining.

[@inCARnationAustralia]

Thanks Nova. Yes Mike is good value, a fine story-teller, very knowledgeable about his cars and we have a couple more of his yet to do, including a fast Maserati. But Mark will be returning very shortly with some fascinating cars.

Love seeing these at coffee and cars

[@davidlillecrapp2960]

Volvo before the box. Love this, one of my primary school teachers had one of these back in the 80's.

I had a 1964 P1800S. One of the best cars I ever owned. 105 cu. in. and 106 horse. Dry sump oil--drive it all day in Over-Drive @ 4500RPM and the oil pressure would never drop below 50 lb/sq. in. The P1800S was a classic GT car of the 60s, with the very wonderful characteristic of being reliably bulletproof, in stark contrast to the inferior MGB it is compared to here.

My wife has the 1800 ES - the hearse to you. Good video, thanks - we'll just have to disagree about your rating of the ES from some pictures. Looking forward to more from you, ta.

[@The888Redlich]

Nice video again, looking forwards to the next one 👍

Gorgeous old cars, I remember following one through the winding Pacific Highway north out of Buladelah towards Wootton at night time circa 1984. Wonderful looking on the road on the Panasport wheels.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

Irv Gordon had 3.25 million miles on his p1800 at the time of his death.

Nice video Coupe body was made in Scotland then assembled in West Bromwich England at Jensen. Roger Moore liked using the car in the series, and decided to have his own which was used in some of the later episodes. Pelle Petterson didn’t like the later ES model.which was built without his input.

I had a 1964 1800s for the a few years late last century. It was good but not the drug money they are worth now.

[@user-ts1fp4nm9y]

I really enjoy your videos. Kinda creepy!!!!! That is one sweet Volvo!!!

[@robertbandusky9565]

I have a beautiful 1973 P1800es, which I have owned since 1982. What steering wheel are you using in your vehicle? Very nice machine!🇺🇸

[@kelstra1997]

Everyone gets this wrong. This car is an 1800S (built in Sweden) there is no such thing as a P1800S. The P1800s (no S) were built in the UK by Jensen. Not sure if the long horn front bumper is original.

[@inCARnationAustralia]

Thanks for clarification

[@TheRealDrJoey]

Wrong. I OWNED a 1964 P1800S.

[@TheRealDrJoey]

@@inCARnationAustralia He's wrong.

[@kelstra1997]

@@TheRealDrJoey You can believe what you like - read what the badge says on the back. Then do some research on line.

[@TheRealDrJoey]

@@kelstra1997 You can believe what you like. I owned a P1800S before you were born.

[@goranwikstrom9544]

👍😁👏🏻🇸🇪

[@robertbandusky9565]

What steering wheel are you using sir?

[@inCARnationAustralia]

I asked Mike and he didn't know. He just said "some wood grained thing"

[@cengizdeviren5148]

I have 1964 p1800 S

Irv Volvo had done 3000000 miles and it was recondition at 800000 miles stil pretty good more reliable than any British built car been reconditioned well the engine removed from the car to be a true high mileage hero the engine has to be original to the car it means it has to stay in the car and not be reconditioned and there is such a car that exists if course its a Toyota Corolla in New Zealand that has done over 2000000kms on its original engine and gearbox it is 1200000 miles a lot more than 800000 miles and there have been two Toyotas sold in Australia that have done 980000 kms a 1997 Hilux with the famous 22R engine and a 2002 Coralla which is less than 800000 miles but been Toyotas l can see them go on to well over 800000 miles without been reconditioned well you are going to bring up the have these Toyotas ever had there engines recondition tge prices they sold for would not reflect that the Hilux went for $500 and it sold quickly because if the 22R engine and the Corolla forb $4600 and k own a 1997 Hilux with a mere 430000 on it

[@outsidethebox9955]

The bumper is defiantly not correct ...The S had a different bumper

[@Aotearoa_Kiwi]

...and _defiantly_ is definitely not correct. You're right about the 1800S having a different bumper.

[@TheRealDrJoey]

It's the same one MY P1800S had. There was some variation from one example to another. Like, mine had these fantastic chromed mechanisms that opened the back windows, and I've never seen that on any other contemporary examples.

[@johnsalley1081]

More impressive than am MGB GT? That’s an incredibly low bar!!! If you said more impressive than an Alfa GTV or a Fiat 124 Coupe, I’d have been much more impressed!
