Regarding Volvo

Yes, the amazon is probably the most beautifull Volvo. I agree with you on the P1800, I have always thought the P1800 was a bit too much, especially when considering that it actually just is an Amazon at the front and a 544 at the rear. But still, I could probably be convinced at buying one anyway, after all, it is a Volvo.

A Volvo 164 would also be lovely.

I'm the owner of a Volvo 1800 S from 1965. The P is only for the first batch of 1800 cars serial 1 to 6000 or 1961 to 1963.The production stopped in 1972 of the 1800 while the ES version ended in 1973.

People keep getting that wrong. It's a matter of styling. Personally I dig it. If its good enough for Roger Moore well its good enough for me.

Nice car for sure, it's just that for a 28 year old from a nothern town in England, the P1800 is a bit over the top. I'd love to own one in a few years, but perhaps when I live somewhere a bit more forgiving in terms of what car you drive. You're only a real man in my town if you drive a 'Scooby' and screw it around the local roads at ridiculous speeds you see....

You should post a picture of your car for us all to see!

Am I wrong about the 'S' suffix then? I thought they only gained that when the body production (and hence the entire car assembly) ceased in West Bromwich at Jensen's and went to Sweden?

It's not worthy of pictures as yet as the years since 1984 has taken theirs. I got rust and alot of missing parts so as its a heavenly needed A-Z job and a few former owners given up allready the Volvo is non disclosed for public so far in the current state.

The S suffix should be for Sweden when the prduction moved back home in 1963. Note that the body were still made at Jensen untill 1969.

 It did not stand for Super or Sport as the Volvo 1800 is to heavy for that. The S version ran from 1963 to 1969 and then it was called the 1800 E for fuel injection. ES is for estate version.

Well, good luck for when you decide to restore it. I expect that whenever you have the P1800 back up and running, you'll have a lovely car to enjoy!

Not surprised about the rust though as yours is a Jensen bodied car. I've wanted an Interceptor since I was a kid, and nearly bought one on two separate occasions, but fear of my investment rotting away in front of my eyes has stopped me both times. Lovely cars, Interceptors, but rather vulnerable to rotting Swiss cheese (or Alfa Romeo Gamma Coupe, if you will) style. 

Yes there sure is :-)

Im a big car/bike fan, everthing that moves that can be customized is always something that can get my attention.

This is my 15.th year with old Volkswagens and here is my latest VW toy.

A Volkswagen Type1 1952 Ragtop Split.

the car have won many shows 2005 and 2006 where I took it to many show/meetinga around Europe.

It's featured in many VW Magazine also in the same year.
