What Volvo did The Saint used to drive?

[northo]

Saw a red one of these going over the Ballachulish bridge today - looked very cool. Was hoping to see some good hardware out on the roads out west, but was limited to drooling over Caymans and the usual fleet of Boxsters(not drooling over them).

Must organise more business meetings in Ardnamurchan - the commute is a blinder

Volvo P1800
. Old man used to have two.

I've beem thinking about a p1800 or an Amazon (car that is before the PH faithful slaughter me)for a project

[istoo]

currently the highest confirmed mileage car on the planet.
Just googled it again, last time i read about it, the chap had just passed 2 million miles... now at 2.6 million!

I do think the P1800 is pretty. I used to see a tweaked Amazon when i was working in Norway, something comical but cool about it.

And his Reg No ST 1 on the TV car was the Lord Provost of Inverness's reg loaned out to the Production Co, but I believe it was sold later, by the council to fund their drinks billbenefit the local community Aye, right.

I noticed that the Lord Provost of Edinburgh turned up at the Jim Clark rally in a car with the reg number S 0!

[anorak]I think LP's of Aberdeen RG 0, Edinburgh S 0 and Glasgow G 0

They were the original area of Registration codes AFAIR and the only ones to be issued the 0(zero) suffix.[/anorak]
