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...

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...
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. ...
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...

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 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
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...
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...
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!!!
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...
.. different people as well.. Your post to me confirms,, that „The journey is the reward“.. Happy for you, my friend and enjoy that Volvo P1800E furtheron in the times and trips for the very Best of your health ! Best, hs
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 ...
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...
