SUMMARY
A running and driving example of Volvo’s distinctive shooting brake requiring restoration and offered without reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in 1971, the Volvo 1800 ES was the final evolution of the 1800 series, combining the mechanicals of the sporting coupé with a practical shooting brake body style and remaining in production until 1973
- Manufactured in November 1972 and first registered in the UK on 01/05/1973, this example is currently indicating 97,130 miles and is presented as a restoration project having been stored for a number of years
- Powered by Volvo’s 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine driving through a manual gearbox to the rear wheels, the 1800 ES featured independent front suspension and disc brakes at the front
- Having been stood for some time, the car is reported to run and drive but would benefit from recommissioning and mechanical attention before regular road use
- Prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the car at the sale, with the vehicle requiring attention to areas including the braking system and therefore advised to be removed from the auction by trailer
- Sensibly guided and offering an accessible entry into ownership of a classic Volvo sporting model, this 1800 ES presents an opportunity for restoration and enjoyment once recommissioned.
