Default P1800es Delores 1972 Blue

Since getting my beautiful P1800es ( affectionally known as Delores) in May 2021 she will already have become familiar to some interested members because of her introduction to the site by my friend Alan ( VOC member ‘Othen’ ).
In fact it was Alan that first spotted Delores for sale and bought her to my attention, as he knew I had always had a desire to own a P1800.
It was only a few days after this that Alan and I were on our way to bring her to her new home.

Delores wasn’t my first dalliance into classic cars; the previous year I had bought a very nice white TR6 but this car has never given me the same feeling and joy that I have for Delores. I feel more at home with Volvos and have had several different models over the years and for me the beautiful, stylish lines of the P1800 had always seemed desirable but until now very impractical.

Delores was in a relatively good condition upon purchase but as with all fifty year old cars has required several minor maintenance and cosmetic improvements, the worst being a considerable oil leak. I will not repeat here all that has been done for her, as Alan has written this up in a far more detailed and eloquent way that I am capable and it would only be duplicitous. Needless to say I am very grateful for all of his help and support. She brings joy and catches the eye every time she goes out.

A few photos are posted, which I hope you will enjoy seeing.

This is after her first ride out of the New Year and being washed and put back to bed!
