I hope this topic is placed right here...
If this is the completly wrong spot, please let me know.
As spring is coming to Denmark slowly one of my other hobby beside wet shaving needs more attention again as the new season is ready to start. In the hope and expectation that there maybe will other TSR members interested in old cars, I would like to introduce you for my Volvo 1800ES.
Let´s see if I can handle to link to photobucket......
This is one of only 8077 produced Stationcar models based on the famous Volvo P1800 Coupé. My car is a 1973 model so it comes from the very last batch before production of the P1800 ended in summer 73 after 12 years.
Underneath it´s for the time unconventional “Shouting Break†body, the car is technically in family with the Volvo 140 series while older P1800 Coupés shared many technical components with Volvo 120 Amazon models.
At the time this was an expensive car, looking on old European price lists it was in the same price range as f. ex. Porsche 911 which partly explains the low production numbers. Another reason why this care is rare is for sure the fact that the whole concept of a Vovo Coupé the ES station car in particular was point to the American market right from the start.
The car is in my possession for 11 years now and in quite original shape. Beside from work on the body like sheet metal or paint jobs, I try to do as much of repaisr und services myself so in periods, this can get right time consuming but this is part of the game.
Regards from Copenhagen
