Volvo's P1800 was designed in Sweden and Italy, built in England,
Scotland and Sweden, and sold throughout the world; thus, it has a
fascinating history. David Styles takes a look back to the first Volvo
and traces its design and development through to its launch in 1961. He
covers the various variations of the 1800 coupe and the 1800ES
sportwagon. He includes the complete history of all 1800 variations,
full technical specs for each model, and advice on buying and
maintaining an 1800.
