A bit of Volvo nostalgia

I am lucky enough in my work to get to drive some great cars, today was no exception I had to deliver a P1800 200 miles up the motorway to just outside Manchester. I have to say that given the conditions were not ideal the car coped really well, it was comfortable, warm and only used 1/2 tank of fuel. It was more than happy to cruise at 65 mph ish in overdrive. A really useable classic car.

Glorious things, would love an ES. This may be partly influenced by a teacher, who bore a passing resemblance to Agnetha Faltskog, having one.

I had an ES back in the day. A glorious car, although a little agricultural to drive. I sold it as I had 4 cars at the time and it was just too many, although it is the only car I have ever sold and regretted. Still lust after one.
