We’re proud to offer for sale one of the rarest and most eye-catching classic cars ever made – the Volvo P1800 ES, finished in stunning Sun Yellow and featuring the iconic frameless glass tailgate.
Only 1 of Just Over 5,000 Ever Built
With only 6 owners from new, this 1972 P1800 ES has a truly remarkable history. At one point, the vehicle returned to Sweden with a former owner before being rediscovered and brought back to the UK by Kristian Elvefors, Managing Director of Volvo Car UK.
Recently cared for by Volvo Heritage UK, the vehicle has been proudly displayed in the Van Mossel Esplanade showroom, drawing admiration and enquiries from enthusiasts across the country.
An Iconic Classic – Now Available
Due to overwhelming customer interest, and with the kind permission of Volvo Heritage UK, we are delighted to now offer this rare gem for sale. The P1800 ES is thought to be one of only a handful of roadworthy examples remaining.
“Its rarity and fantastic condition has already led many to ask if it’s for sale – and now we can happily say, yes,”
– Brendan Cole, Head of Business, Van Mossel Esplanade
Giving Back with Every Sale
Inspired by the car’s bright yellow finish, we’re also pledging a £1,000 donation to Mountbatten if the vehicle achieves the asking price – a donation that Volvo Heritage UK will match. Over the past 21 months, we’ve donated over £32,000 to Mountbatten, with many generous customers choosing to match our donation.
