A Nice Gift

Saltyseagull · Feb 20th, 2020, 16:23

Hello everyone.
I have just joined your forum today to see if I can do something nice for an owner of a volvo P1800 coupe.
I'm looking for a nice present for him that is p1800 related. I'm not looking for a T shirt or a mug but something a little more tastefull. It's his pride and joy and he isn't a " make America great again baseball cap wearing kinda guy"
I have seen nice blue print posters but they lack a little detail for my liking. Can you guys possibly think of something nice to complement such a beautiful car.
Thanks muchly

Hiya

That's very thoughtful of you to put such effort in to a gift.

Is this any good?

I dont know what the quality is like. Has anyone ever seen these in the flesh.

Get a nice photo and have it printed on to canvas so it looms lime and oil painting.

Thanks for the replies. That's another good Idea.
Thank you

Purely personal...

If I were lucky enough to have a P1800 (never will be

) that blue print would give me hours of pleasure just looking at it.

I've seen 2. One of them had lots of information and one was just dimensions.
I really like the look of them.

Have to agree - that would make a lovely gift

Get the blueprint

Magnificent!

I agree with the blueprint suggestion over a print of a P1800.

The blueprint is pertinent and personal to any P1800 owner and relates to their car. A print of a P1800, however nice, is just that - a print of a P1800 - it doesn't have any personal connection; not unless the present giver could borrow the recipients car and have it professionally photographed. But then we are in to a completely different ball game.

A blueprint also taps into the design and engineering side of car ownership.
