| .0� P1800E 1970 Volvo Sedan
.0� Is this a 'classic' car? Will it ever be? Any ideas what it is
.0� currently worth? Any info, would be much appreciated.
It is a classic. Very famous from the 'Saint' series appearance. Few
built and very few still in existence today. Market value: 3-7K pounds.

| Definitely a classic although perhaps a bit of an acquired taste (I
like them).
A friend went to look at a good one about six months ago didn't buy it
because he was concerned about availability of parts.
I believe it was about 4500.
Jason.

| ..I have the 1800S model.
The 1800E is very desirable due to the fuel injection.
UK price in Practical Classics is around � 3500 - 4500
Price in Switzerland is around Sfr 20'000

| ....And I forgot to mention, parts availability is still excellent.
I order most of mine from the Pretty Garage Group in the UK:
Tel +44 379 740 681
Very fast service.

| 1915.6 | So it's nice, but how nice? | HLFS00::STEVE_T | | Thu Oct 15 1992 12:33 | 8 |
| Thanks a lot for all the information, and it certainly sounds like it
would be worth bringing it over to Europe to use for a while, and then
to sell before returning to the US. I just need to find out now how
much it would be to ship it over........any ideas?
Cheers,
Steve

| I seem to recall a Top Gear program that had a feature on this and
while I can't recall any prices, they did say that many s/h cars were
shipped from Florida -> UK.
Got any contacts there?

| 1915.8 | good looking but ... | ZPOVC::GGLOH | Singapore | Thu Oct 22 1992 19:16 | 3 |
| The car was driven by THE SAINT.
It may be a good looking car, but it is also a 'rust box'.

| Where do they rust ?
Mine's 1966 and has only had one re-paint, in about 1986. No rust.
The only areas I know to look out for are rear wing arches and in
behind the front lights.
