In December 1957, the first hand built P1800 prototype was driven to the headquarters of Karmann. Volvo had hoped that Karmann would be able to take on the tooling and building of the P1800 and they were ready to build it which meant that the first cars could hit the market as early as December 1958. But in February, Karmann's most important customer, Volkswagen, forbade Karmann to take on the job as they feared that the P1800 would compete with the sales of their own cars and threatened to cancel all their contracts if they took it on. This setback almost caused the project to be abandoned, and it looked doomed until a press release surfaced with a photo of the car, putting Volvo in a position where they had to acknowledge its existence. These events influenced the company to renew its efforts with the car and it was presented to the public for the first time at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1960. Volvo turned to Jensen Motors, whose production lines were under-utilised, and they agreed a contract for 10,000 cars.

First registered in 1964, this stunning P1800S Volvo was purchased in 2016 by our vendor with the sole purpose to fully nut and bolt restore the car for his daughter's birthday. An original Swedish built rare 'Bull Horn' P1800S was selected and the car handed over to one of the country's leading restorers. The colour selected is baby blue over a white leather trim and the finish is fabulous, the 1800cc engine runs beautifully and is coupled to a manual with overdrive gearbox. The budget for this program swiftly progressed to £75,000, the decision was made by our vendor for a car that is perfect and not cutting any corner and the result shows this. This is a fabulous opportunity to purchase an iconic car that has had substantial sums lavished on it to make it a stunning example, viewing is highly recommended for a P1800S that offers what could be the best example in the UK today.
