Hi there,

I'm interested. I sent a PM but I'm not sure if it went through. I am available on daveoleary111@gmail.com if you wouldn't mind.

Regards

Did you see how fast that white one in Scotland sold recently? It was a very tidy early one priced too low at about £5,000. It sold immediately.

There was a full restoration project for sale down here in Devon at £1,500. I mean, full restoration project. It was for sale for about a week.

As well, Nigel Case in London - he runs Classic Car Club and adores Volvos - he had a very nice example in green, probably similar condition to this one. That one caused some comments on this here forum when it was up for sale at £11,000, but guess what?! It sold for very near that figure!

I have to say it: name me another practical classic that can offer what this car has? Amazon estate far more valuable nowadays. Citroen Safari the same as is a Peugeot 504. Then you have less attractive newer stuff like Granada, Mercedes 123 and so on.

I'd be getting some very well done photos and a carefully worded advert with a price tag of £10,000

You could be right. My gut feeling is that it has a selling price of around £7000, although these cars will rise as time passes by, i'm sure. So whatever the price, it shouldn't lose over time. I will be in a more serious position after the Bruntingthorpe event

Can't wait to meet you! As well as meet loads of folk I've only ever met on this here forum!

I guess I won't miss you in your very yellow car there

If I don’t manage to get the car ready for the event, I will be in my red Volvo 850 Diesel

It is quite a rare beast as well!

Wow cant believe I’m seeing the old girl again, awesome car, drove it to Sweden, I fitted the overdrive about 18 years ago!, would love to buy her back as I’ve regretted it ever since!, Mrs said the P1800 would have to go tho 😔

The car is also fitted with a kenlow fan as an extra, although I have never needed to use it, I think the previous keeper towed his classic van, so had it fitted just in case. There is also an oil cooler fitted in front of the radiator.

There are extra seats in the boot with arm rests, but they are far from easy to assemble and not worth the bother really.

I fitted the kenlowe fan, overdrive and oil cooler as I towed my caravan and boat with it, I will also be at volvo 600 with my P1800

Hi there. Yes I have spoke to you before, around 8 or 9 years ago I believe. I think I have a copy of that photo somewhere, and one or two others

I have managed to keep it dry stored all these years, which has helped keep it in the condition it is in now.

I think you aught to keep the p1800. I sold my p1800 in 2011 for £7500. It will be worth around £15000 now. If you really are interested in the old girl I would consider my lowest price for you!

Hopefully I will get it to this Volvo meet at the end of the month! Nice to hear from you again.

Yeah your probably right!, hopefully we’re bump into each other at the 600, I’ll be a white P1800e with a blue 940 along side

Ok, a few more pictures. The price at the moment is £7500. It is on the classic car websites
