1962 Volvo P1800 4-Speed

This 1962 Volvo P1800 was assembled in England by Jensen Motors and is said to have remained in storage for several decades in Maryland before it was repainted metallic grey in 2015 and acquired by the seller in 2016. Power comes from a 1.8-liter B18 inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and a stainless-steel exhaust system and an electronic ignition module have been installed. Additional equipment includes 15″ steel wheels with later-style chrome covers as well as twin SU carburetors, front disc brakes, reproduction stainless-steel bumpers, and Hella LED headlights, a mahogany-rimmed steering wheel, a cabin heater, a factory AM/FM radio, Smiths instrumentation, and low-back front bucket seats upholstered in red leather. This P1800 is now offered with spare and removed parts, an uninstalled drivetrain, parts receipts, and a clean Maryland title in the seller’s name.
