Below ids a photo of my 1800S taken in the mid 1980'2 I believe. My car is chassis number 11607, built just before the Volvo summer factory holidays of 1964.
I am interested that at that time it had Jensen style "Flying saucer" hub caps, as it had when I bought the vehicle in October 2012. The car has always had cow horn bumpers and hockey stick trim. The radiator grille I think was not original when I bought it so, I replaced this with the eggbox type.
It appears likely that the original owner had the Webasto sunroof fitted.
The photo appears to have been taken on the then owners drive way in Huddersfield, based on looking at Google Earth.

At that angle, the 1800 certainly looks very dashing - fit for a Saint!

Default Not that old....

It's Ciderman and myself this September.

Now I'll look for a photo of the '63 221 my father bought in 1968.

You don’t by chance still have the Jensen hub caps, do you? I know someone who desperately wants a set.

Thanks for the enquiry about the Jensen hubcaps. I sold my set some years ago.
