The Appeal
The P1800ES was the sort of clever idea we’ve come to expect from Volvo. Evolving the distinctive P1800S into a sleek sporting estate provided a solution for press-on drivers who like to travel with plenty of luggage. Or dogs.
The final Type Y version got the B20F fuel injected engine and lightly revised interior, most notably featuring rocker switches. Just 5,008 were built, making these stylish and luxurious cars particularly rare now.
Originally a California-market car finished in Orange, this car was resprayed in subtle dark blue 10 years ago which complements the black leather interior. It is solid, very usable and factory standard condition and looks perfect for long road trips.
The History and Paperwork
- Chassis records confirm this is a non-sunroof manual gearbox estate with the B20F engine
- Chassis suffix 4 confirms this as a LHD California-market car
- Chassis number 113 indicates this car was originally Orange
- Trim code 450-878 (black seats and brown carpets) was factory matched with Orange
- Belgian registration plates
- Vendor advises that lots of work was undertaken by previous owner and supplied in history
- Repainted 10 years ago in Dark Blue
- Vendor advises that inspection is advised and viewings can be arranged on request
The Condition

The Mechanics
- Low compression 108bhp B20F 1,986cc Volvo engine

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |
| €50,000 to €99,999 | €500.00 |
| €100,000 + | €1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
