The seller offers for sale this Volvo 1800 E from 1971, equipped with a 1.8-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine and manual transmission. This car was imported from the Netherlands and is now part of a French collection. It starts easily, shows no blue or white exhaust smoke, and the engine runs quietly without any abnormal noises. The gearbox shifts smoothly and is free of unwanted sounds. The body is in good condition with only a small blemish on the left front wing. The upholstery remains in fine shape, and lights and indicators are functional. The vehicle has not suffered accident damage, shows no signs of rust, and features no mechanical modifications. This is a solid and well-maintained example ready for enjoyment or display.
The Volvo 1800 E, introduced in the early 1970s, represents the refined evolution of the P1800 series. It combined the timeless design of the earlier models with a more powerful and fuel-injected engine, improving performance and reliability. Known for its sporty yet elegant lines, the 1800 E offered a unique blend of Scandinavian craftsmanship and grand touring comfort. Its reputation grew further after being famously featured in “The Saint” TV series, and today it remains one of Volvo’s most iconic classic coupes, admired for its balanced handling, durability, and charming 1960s styling that never goes out of fashion.
