Details

Known as 'Roger,' this highly desirable 1972 Volvo 1800E coupe is powered by a fuel-injected 125hp, 4-cylinder BF20 1986cc engine paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. This restored example was completed in 2021. Styled by Pelle Petterson under the direction of Pietro Frua of Carrozeria Ghia, the body of this example has been recently refinished in its factory color of Gold Metallic. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in tan leather with a black dashboard and carpeting. Wood-grain trim runs across the dashboard, which houses analog instrumentation and an original Volvo radio. The interior is original with a few creases remain on the front driver's-seat upholstery. All gauges and accessories are working properly and restored. The car remains original in its appearance and all exterior trim and brightwork have been refurbished to a very high standard. This example rides on a set of 14-inch slotted steel wheels that feature Volvo center caps and new period-Correct Vredestein tires. This sale will include a set of keys, a spare tire, a tool roll and the original owner's manual. 8,324 miles (mileage not indicated on title). From the private collection of Jeff Elson.
