Description

1963 Volvo P1800 No reserve Swedish registration Chassis no. 6294 - Extensive restoration - Model made famous by Roger Moore in the series The Saint - First version, rare and sought-after - Unreserved This car has the unique distinction of being 100% Swedish: born of a Swedish manufacturer, it has spent its entire life in Sweden. Sold new via the Landskrona Bil AB dealership to its first owner, Sven Zarelius, a dentist in Landskrona (near Malmö), it passed Swedish technical inspections until 1974, when the Swedish registration system changed. We find it again in 2018, where it has undergone a complete restoration, for which we have a large number of invoices from Classix Scandinavia, specialists in this type of model. Expertly rebuilt in one of Staffan Wittmark's favorite color combinations, Mouse Grey with red imitation interior, it looks absolutely stunning, with bodywork that's satisfactorily aligned and chromework revised. The irreproachable condition of the engine compartment testifies to the quality of the work, the engine being fitted with two SU carburetors. The interior is equally impressive, with a beautiful dashboard featuring refurbished meters and a vintage car radio. Seats, carpets and doors invite you to take a seat in the elegant interior of this great classic, designed by Swedish designer Pelle Petterson and made famous by Roger Moore [aka Simon Templar] in the series The Saint. Restored to a classy shade, sold with a complete file (including the first registration certificate from 1963), a cover and a battery charger, the car we present, in addition to being one of the milestones of the W collection, will plunge its new owner back into an era whose hopes were reflected in the bold shape of this sought-after Swedish car. Swedish title Chassis no. 6294 - Major restoration - Model made famous by Roger Moore in the series The Saint - Rare and sought-after first version - No reserve This car has the distinction of being Swedish through and through: created by a Swedish manufacturer, it has spent its entire life in that country. Sold new through the dealer Landskrona Bil AB to its first owner, Sven Zarelius, a dentist in Landskrona (near Malmö), it passed its Swedish safety inspections until 1974, when the Swedish registration system changed. It turned up again in 2018, when it underwent a complete restoration, for which we have a large number of invoices from Classix Scandinavia, a specialist in the model. Restored to the highest standards in one of Staffan Wittmark's favourite colour schemes, mouse grey with a red leatherette interior, it is quite superb, with satisfying panel gaps and refurbished chrome. The faultless condition of the engine compartment attests to the quality of the work, and the engine is equipped with twin SU carburettors. The interior is just as good, with an array of reconditioned instruments spread over its handsome dashboard and a period radio. The seats, carpets and door cards are an invitation to step inside the elegant interior of this great classic, styled by the Swedish designer Pelle Petterson and made famous by Roger Moore (aka Simon Templar) in the series The Saint. Restored in a very classy colour and sold with a comprehensive history file (including its first registration certificate from 1963), a fitted cover and battery charger, the car we are presenting, as well as being one of the milestones in the W Collection, will take its new owner back to a time when our hopes were reflected in the bold styling of this Swedish sports car.
