Actually, thinking about it, he probably wouldn't say much after throwing up all over the steering wheel . . .

It looks like he already has!

This is how it should be.

The Wheeler Dealers episode with one of these was interesting.

Still a good looking car.

That as the great thing about the 60s and 70s. Providing you had a sporty coupe you didn't need a job, you merely had to drive across Europe and you were bound to get mixed up with a bunch of jewel stealing KGB mad scientists giving you the opportunity to save the world and get the girl.

Whatever would Simon Templar say?: "Fcensoredk Me - I'm not driving that!"

The p 1800 (in both variants), has to be the best looking car Volvo ever made!

What a shame someone bought their designers set squares for Christmas in 70's! frown

Still miss my old daily driver 1800S that I sold in 1996. frown

Wonder if JNC47F still exists as the DVLA says it hasn't been taxed in 11 years.

+1

I've only ever owned stop-gap Volvos, something to use before the next 'whatever' came along. I was always impressed with their comfort and apparent longevity - the ones I drove were really leggy (170+) but still felt surprisingly together.

Just not overly aspirational as fun cars though.
