Old cars are a passion
Sharing years and years with them you develop a quite nice distance to a world which always seems to be in a hurry. At least that‘s my experience with my two oldies, a 1978 Jag XJ6 and a 1986 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible. And I love your P1800 of course. It‘s a rare bird...
September 2012 / September 2020: 8 years with the Volvo P 1800E.
Time flies... I have the feeling it was yesterday, the day I picked my Volvo P 1800E near Amsterdam, on the 21st of September 2012. Since then, I have made 50 000 Kilometers with it. I went to Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Belgium, and the Nether...
what a fabulous classic! 😍
thanks for sharing the photos of your beautiful car and the story of your ownership
It is a really cool car you have there my friend
I have drive a few ones but never own one. I love the design and the "simple" like Rolex design of the engine and gearbox that is a real workhorse. The only I don't like at your car is the side lights I guess is for the US market. We don't have those in S...
Side lights
Handy lights to protect sheet metal. The only thing i do not like is the orange color. Orange lights on cars replaced throughout the years by white/clear. I am very happy about it. ...
8 years 😳
Time flies mon ami. A very nice description of your adventures, i still remember the drive from Brussels to SHIEPPOL and PAARIESCHJJJ 🤣. I can imagine you feel a lot younger when driving the P1800 , you’re such a child anyway 😁. Always welcome, room enoug...
Also working on a project here ....
... involves driving roads and something very very cool 😬😅
Both !
Actually no wheels, more like ..... a place .... where the roads are insane and nature is everywhere.
You are for sure a great storyteller
and on top of that you always add nice pictures. Regarding your P1800 dont you think you should take her on a trip to Sweden in order for her to hear her native language once more before it is too late?!
A fantastic story about a beautiful car .
A car with lot’s of history and nothing (no modern car)beats driving (travelling) with it . Thanks for sharing your experience with this amazing and elegant car my friend. I hope it will brings you many more years of joy and happiness
Style is the manner of expression
And you have it in abundance. It's not the destination, it's the journey that counts. You travel in style.

Impressive story and pictures
On one picture you post, is a Honda at the background. (Honda Insight) 8 years with a vintage car, a milestone. My current car i bought in Amsterdam, 5 years ago. I had my purple Honda for 9 years. Amazing story, you buy your vintage car in Amsterdam. Yes...
Good to read and see that it is no garage queen
Too many people don't use their toys (cars, watches, pens) for being afraid to ruin the value. The most personal value comes through usage imho - so you did very well in terms of value gain!!!
Splendid photo essay of a beautiful vintage car dear Nico
Thank you for sharing her with us and all her anecdotes. You are very right about driving point A to point B. It’s more of the pleasure in the drive and in driving her. I wish you many many more good years of pleasurable drives with her and many more stor...
Thank you sharing this story, what a trip... I can perfectly feel your bound.

It is great to read the bond between the two of you.
Can’t wait to read the new memories next year!
Beautiful car and great ownership story! Amazing how sleek it looks opposite that 911
What a great ownership experience with the car! With the constant hype stream of new cars, not unlike watches, everything is about the hottest new thing rather than actual experience of the thing in our lives. The guy who drove his mercedes gwagon around ...
a classic you've got my friend...
it has become more a piece of your heart than few good moments ! enjoy...La vita e bella !! Best, mahesh.,
Take care of it..
Fantastic car you have. I saw many of these 40 years ago in Sweden but they are now very few. It's a car to take care of, just like you do
The flying Dutchman is an elegant ( and demanding) competition sailboat ... Your car is in its image : Its sails inflated with passion and seems to float above the road !
Good and long road for the years to come ...
Beautiful car you have amigo mío!
His is the handling in curvy roads? Does it feel heavy? Is it nimble and fast? Does suspension let you feel the road? Best. René
Then it is a back wheel slider!!!
I love the screeching sound on curvy roads! Best. René
Volvo Memories
You are lucky to own this today, when photos are an every-moment thing. I had my first Volvo, a 122S for about 10 years. We named him Victor. We drove it on our honeymoon back in 1975... And here's a photo in my work parking lot around 1980 or so. But aft...
The way you describe the feelings inside the car...
Is exactly the way I feel. Congratulations on your baby it’s stunning Nico. Mo
