The seller offers for sale a 1972 Volvo P1800, an iconic coupe celebrated for its sleek design and reliable engineering. This example is powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual 4-speed gearbox, delivering an engaging driving experience. With 193,000 miles on the odometer, this car showcases a history of regular use. Recent servicing included an oil and filter change, replacement of the fuel pump, and new rubber hoses.

The interior is clean and retains its original charm, showing some signs of use. Notably, the original radio is missing, replaced by an aftermarket radio.
First introduced in 1961, the Volvo P1800 gained fame for its elegant design, created by Pelle Petterson under the auspices of Pietro Frua. The car’s starring role in “The Saint” television series cemented its reputation as a stylish and desirable classic. Known for its durability, the P1800 famously set a record for the highest verified mileage by a single-owner car, a testament to its robust engineering.
