1966 Volvo P1800 S Coupe Hertfordshire £40,000

[retromatt]

Hi, Here I have a stunning example of a iconic and desirable P1800 S coupe.

This example has a huge history file, period and original booklets and manuals, incredibly low miles, and 4 previous owners.

Its had lots of money spent on bringing it up to scratch mechanically, and has wanted for nothing, but is a beautifully original car in terms of interior and body and trim etc.

Drives faultlessly, and the overdrive lets the car keep up with modern traffic effortlessly. Very enjoyable drive, and these cars are great investments for the future.

Located Hertfordshire.

Delivery available nation wide at buyers expense.

Thanks, Matt

Right, 25,000 miles from new, the first being a lady who owned it from new, untill when she passed in the 2000's. Alwayes cared for, garaged and maintained.
Massive history folder with original manuals, past MOT's, original booklets and bills and invoices etc.
It is a pleasure to drive, starts first time, every time, idles just fine, its a very comfortable drive, a fast little thing for a 55 year old car, and happily cruises at 70 on the motorway with the overdrive.
Fitted with the original radio still, and a second modern head unit concealed under the dash to plug your ipod or phone into.
Its a very original car, but has been kept up to scratch in terms of body and mechanics, and always dry-stored, with a fresh MOT each year, and very little miles.
As with any classic, there are a few little niggles that need sorting, and I am planning to sort.
The aerial needs replacing. The petrol gauge isnt accurate, needs a new sender unit fitting. The speedo needle jumps around once your up to speed, needs a replacement cable fitted. The seats are all original, but the leather shows signs of wear, nothing major but for perfection you would re-trim. A very small area of flaking paint in the engine bay where engine bay has been re-sprayed. The bumpers are fine, but all original and show some age/ tarnishing to the chrome in areas.
It is a stunning example, but I have just honed in on these faults because its such a decent car and with such a good history, that it deserves the attention to detail to push the value up. I would not be suprised if this was the lowest millage P1800 in the UK!
I have owned a few of these in my time, and have always said Cherry Red was the best colour to have, but after owning this one, my opinion has changed, this is a rare colour, and sets the shape and lines off so nicely.
As far as an investment car goes, this would be ideal and collectors seem to go mad for a P1800 coupe!
Heres a few photos I did the other night...

Happy to provide a full fresh MOT for new owner, although car is both TAX and MOT exempt.
