VOLVO 1800E

2-door 2+2-seater coupé.

Third generation 'Saint-car', visually like previous models except for cast alloy wheels, but with 120bhp Bosch-injected engine and with overdrive as standard. As before, distinctive style featured high door sills and low-placed seating, with marginal +2 accommodation under the sloping rear window. Reliable, quite fast (110mph perhaps), but GT rather than sports car, with comfortable seating, typically-powerful Swedish heating and solid fittings.
