Volvo P1800 Concept - 1958
The P1800 was Volvo's second sports car, but this time it was a successful one. The single most important reason for this may be that the car was used by 'The Saint', in the famous TV series.
The car on display is one of three Italian-built prototypes, made in 1958. Series production started in 1961 at Jensen Motors in Great Britain. In 1963 the production was transferred to Sweden.
