My beloved Volvo P1800E is back on the road!

 
 By: amanico : May 24th, 2019-03:01
It took a bit more than 3 weeks ( 2 more weeks ) but I got the MOT, an expertise for the insurance, and the silent blocks changed in addition to the fuel pump, the relays to the fuel pump, a full maintenance, and two or three other things. Needless to say...  

Enjoy your beautiful car this weekend..

After this service, looks like she’s smiling 😜I like the combination of curves in the front and blade like angles in the back . True aerodynamics... [nt]

 
 By: ZSHSZ : May 24th, 2019-06:24

Indeed! That's the magic cocktail of that car. Driving it is not only a pleasure, it is an honor. [nt]

That puts the Grand in Grand Touring!

 
 By: kkochheiser : May 24th, 2019-19:10
I know how much work goes into these but isn’t the first Spring day worth it all? Kent

Definitely. As for the work into this car, it is not very capricious nor tough to service. That's the good thing with the P 1800. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : May 25th, 2019-00:23

Even vampires like to drive...
