Market commentary

Legendary reliability added significant value to Volvos sports car the P1800 and particularly to the estate wagon P1800ES. With 112hp, pPerformance was not its long suit but 4 wheel independent suspenion and disc brakes all around went a long way toward making up for the smogged engines moderate output. Most have been driven into the ground, and a few restorers make a good living bringing worn out examples back to life. This one wont need that attention and was an astute acquisition at this price.
