The Volvo P1800 was the coupe sports car built between 1961 and 1972 by the Swedish car manufacturer Volvo. The model was designed in 1961 by Swedish designer Pelle Petterson, who was working at the Italian coachbuilding company Frua at the time. This was the second model with which Volvo attempted to penetrate the sports car market. The first model, the P1900, was not a success. Quality problems proved fatal to that car, a mistake Volvo would not repeat with the P1800. A white 1800 S with license plate ST 1 was used in the 1960s in the successful TV series The Saint, starring Roger Moore as Simon Templar. Production of the P1800 began in 1961. Due to the great popularity of the Amazon and the unplanned continuation of production of the PV544, Volvo itself lacked the production capacity for the P1800. Therefore, bodywork production was outsourced to Pressed Steel in Scotland. Final assembly was to take place at Jensen in West Bromwich (England). Only approximately 6000 cars were produced at Jensen because Volvo decided to terminate the contract with Jensen and take over final assembly itself, due to problems with the assembly and the quality of the paintwork.
