December 30, 2021 — Olaf von Fersen 27

The name of the Volvo P 1800, which went into production in 1961, suggests that it was designed and manufactured in Sweden. In reality, the elegant two-door car with the loyal look and shapely tail fins was produced in England and equipped with electrical components from Bosch, while the body was modeled in Italy, the country of the most famous sheet metal artists.

This article reproduces an original test report from the time and shows the touring coupé in numerous historical pictures and sales brochures.
