A special Volvo P1800. The P1800 Aston Martin.
This car will be auctioned at the end of this year.
The normal P1800 comes with a Volvo engine, 1, 8 Liter or 2 Liter 4 Cylinders.
This one houses an... Aston Martin 4 cylinders 2, 5 liter engine ( 2 cylinders were removed ) developing 151 HP, versus 120 HP for the " in house " Volvo 2 liter engine.
The car is from 1963, assembled by Jensen.
It was never sold.

I love discovering gems like this - much appreciated. Combination of two great automakers for a hybrid sensation, looking forward to seeing the results. M

A cheap way into the prestigious AMOC. I much prefer yours my friend. The fact that it is RHD with an Aston Engine and with swiss plate at the back make a weird combo. Never sold but driven is a bit awkward too. It may go for more as a standard P1800 in e...
Now THAT’S something you don’t see every day.
Would be nice to find a vintage Rolex or JLC (or… anything) in that sort of NOS condition. And I didn’t know that Jensen manufactured a Volvo once upon a time — learned something new, thanks!
The car looks stunning
Like just from the factory. I think it has not many miles on its clock.
