Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Overdrive, Sapphire V radio, heater, wheel covers, Michelin tires.

Condition

Poor old repaint and original interior but aged beyond practical salvation. Rusty, dirty engine compartment, not running. A Jensen-built restoration project, but all there and uncomplicated.

Market commentary

Volvo moved production from Jensen to Sweden afer the British-built P1800s proved to be badly built and unreliable. And this one brought a premium price? The last car of the auction, bidders must have had cash in their pockets that they needed to spend and splurged on this Volvo.
