Volvo 1800 ES '73

• Volvo 1800 ES with manual transmission
• 1,986 cc four-cylinder engine – fully rebuilt engine
• Indicated mileage of 113,043 km
• Monroe air shocks on the rear axle with self-levelling function
• Belgian registration documents and Belgian Car-Pass present

The Volvo 1800 ES is one of the most distinctive versions of the classic 1800 series. The elegant lines of the coupé were combined with a practical shooting brake body and the characteristic large glass tailgate, making the 1800 ES a particularly recognizable Volvo classic today.

This example was first registered on 30 June 1973 and is finished in Seagreen Metallic. The 1,986 cc four-cylinder engine is paired with a manual transmission and the indicated mileage is 113,043 km.

An important technical advantage of this car is its fully rebuilt engine. The rear axle is also equipped with Monroe air shocks featuring a self-levelling function. This system helps the car maintain its ride height and contributes to a more comfortable driving experience, especially when the vehicle is loaded.

The car is otherwise in good original, unrestored condition. The bodywork is original and presents well, with normal signs of use. The original colour has also been retained. The underside remains in good, honest original condition.

The interior presents well and combines original and restored elements with normal signs of use. The leather trim pieces for the front seat backrests are also included with the car. The chassis number is original and clearly legible.

Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an inspection report for this vehicle.
