Volvo P1800S Right Hand Drive Project 1969 This very desirable and probably most recognised car to come out of Sweden was originally bought by the vendor to restore to show quality. Now due to a change in circumstances this rare Right Hand Drive 1968 Volvo P1800S is being offered here as a running and driving project needing some restoration. The engine starts very easily and runs nicely. Gear box and clutch function correctly. Body work is good with no major problems or corrosion and with the paint needing some rectification work to bring it back to perfect. The chassis is good but the vendor says that having looked himself and although it has passed every MOT since 2011 with no advisories and the last one only ran out in July last year he feels that there is a small amount of welding required for the next one. There is also a pile of invoices for work done going back to 1995 so this has been a well looked after car in its time. Interior is all present and yes could do with some work here and there but useable as is if you just want a daily driver. All the electrics are working apart from the speedometer itself there is a mileage declaration sheet from 2012 stating that the speedo is broken but there is a replacement in the boot and the ignition switch is faulty so a push button has been wired in to allow for starting. So expect to do some work how much is whether you want a daily driving easy to live with classic car or a full blown show car? Either way with the value of these cars today it will be worth it.
