Default 1965 1800s for sale

I am reluctantly selling my 1965 1800S which has been my daily transport since 1997. The car is located in Berlin, Germany, but is still (yes, legally) on my California registration. I brought the car with me from Los Angeles to Berlin after I moved here (Berlin is my second residence). The car runs fantastically (in fact just drove 1400 miles roundtrip this past September from Berlin to the Goodwood Revival and back with only a sleepover in Brugge, amongst many other long journeys) but definitely needs some restoration to the sills, passenger side floorpan, and jacking points, and needs some minor cosmetics such as paint blemishes and especially some of the chrome. Never had a full restoration, so there is rust is in the usual places though some has been taken care of (repaired battery box, windshield area, quarterlights, etc., no rust in the boot). It has quite many good parts and recent repairs:

Panasport wheels
4x new Bridgestone tires
IPD performance exhaust manifold
IPD Weber 32/36 DGV conversion w/manifold
"Ansa-style" exhaust
Pertronix electronic ignition replacing points in distributor
Polyurethane bushings front and rear
Stiffer (but not lowered) springs
New clutch in 2008
New brake pads front/rear and Front caliper rebuild in August
New battery box 2008
Windshield area welded and new rubber 2008
Quarterlight area welded and new rubber 2008
Carb rebuild/rejetting and new fuel pump 2009
New carpet and soundproofing from CVI Automotive (but only carpet is temporarily installed with Velcro as not to be damaged in removal when the floorboard needs to be worked on, fitted soundproofing will come with sale)

I am asking a (pretty) firm price (please PM me), but partial exchanges for any competition prepared pre-66 Volvos in any condition will be considered. Please feel free to ask any questions. I can provide more photos to interested parties and much of the service/repair history will come with the car.

Hi Just wandering how much you are looking for your P1800. What about the registration and documents as well? I am in London and have a good collection, a 123GT,P1800E,a PV544 which I am restoring - although stripped body wise to respray the panel- has MOT, free tax, fitted with a 4 into 1 manifold, twin 40 webers, sports exhaust. Might consider swapping if your price is ok. Ta, Kassie 078 2887 9494
