The Appeal
One of the most iconic classics in Europe, the Volvo 1800 endures in part because it's simply a fabulous work of over-engineering. Robust, elegant, comfortable - and still more than capable of being fast on its feet, this was a sort of sports-tourer hybrid that managed to straddle the gap impeccably. Famously, one of these remarkably solid cars holds a world record for the highest mileage ever documented in a passenger vehicle - an utterly incredible 3.2 million miles.
This handsome white example has all of the looks with a believed genuine mileage of just 43,000 miles on the clock. This car has been meticulously maintained and is remarkably handsome, accompanied by an extensive history file and boasting plenty of recent investment. Not one to miss - this is one of those classics you simply have to try once. At least!image.png4.18 MB
