The P1800 was a cool Volvo sports coupe through the '60 's and early '70 's.
The first production of the Volvo P1800 was assembled in England in September of 1960. The Volvo P1800 was finally released in 1962. The Volvo P1800 was driven in the television series "The Saint" played by Roger Moore in 1962.

Under the hood?
Production began on the Volvo P1800 in 1960 in West Bromwich, England. Production then moved to Torslanda, Sweden for another 10 years, and finally, Gothenburg, Sweden until production ceased in 1973.
I think its more Aston Martin DB4 than DB5 - the headlights are wrong for a DB5. Those fins are Volvo P1800 as is the front. I want it to be an Aston Martin DB4 but I think its a Volvo P1800. British spy car is a Swede!!!
It all depends on the mileage of the car. We are assuming a 46 year old model averaging a little under 10,000 miles per year over those 46 years. According to www.driverside.com, today, a 1963 Volvo P1800 with approximately 400,000 miles is worth approximately $5652-$6247. source- www.driverside.com
As of 11/2007 it was 2.6 million miles on a 1966 Volvo P1800 all by it's original owner, Irv Gordon.

Google the story about the man with the 1966 Volvo P1800... He has 2,600,000 miles on the car! Same Engine, Same Axles, Same EVERYTHING!!! That's Incredible!!!
Since there is no dip stick on the 1800 the only way to check it is to remove the filler plug on the upper side of the transmission and check with your finger in the hole. The fluid should be up to the hole.
The world record for most mileage on an automobile is held by Irv Gordon, who drove his 1966 Volvo P1800 for over 3 million miles before his passing in 2018.
