Anyone who is lucky enough to own a model of the P 1800 series will know this book by heart. Not only because of the part describing the development and production history, but especially because of the extensive chapter on restoration. Every weak point of the coupé is described.

For friends of Cuban Volvos, the book is too expensive, but for those who value the preservation and appreciation of a classic Volvo 1800, this book is a must.

Glenn Goodspeed: »The depth of the information is accompanied by a broad scope. For instance, the Haynes manual is the only one that includes the procedures for rebuilding the rear axle. Granted, this is not a job for the fainthearted, but there are a few of us who will tackle anything if we have the tools, and knowledge is one of those tools.

… the Haynes manual is the most comprehensive workshop guide for P1800 and 120 series Volvos. It is better for the novice than even the official Volvo manual, which is aimed at the experienced mechanic.«

ISBN: 9789163383571

Starting at the beginning with the very first 1926 prototypes, the book introduces us to the wild 1933 Venus Bilo, the American-inspired, V-8-powered Philip (circa 1951), the Facel-Vega-inspired 1966 P172, the 1980 Volvo Concept Car and the female team-designed 2004 YCC. We also get behind-the-scenes glimpses at the origins of production models like the P1800, 144, 780 Bertone and the C70 Coupe.

Equally interesting are introductions to the people who created these cars. We meet Helmer MasOlle (designer of Volvo's iron symbol and diagonal grille slash), Jan Wilsgaard (Volvo's longtime head of design) and Pelle Petterson (son of a Volvo executive and designer of the P1800). One-offs and custom-bodied Volvos are also celebrated.

VOLVO P1800 - from idea to prototype and production

This book teils the story of the Volvo P1800, about the time when the first idea was born and the process that led up to its design, engineering and the first years of series production. A story which had no given answers, a story full of dramatic and exciting events, a story filled with challenges and problems.

The story brings the reader back to 1956 and covers the events up to 1963, letting the people who were part of the project and process behind it teil us what really happened, richly illustrated with photographs that have never been published before.

The book is the Svenska Volvo P1800 club tribute to the Volvo P1800, to the people who made the car, put it into production, created the myth, and the enthusiasts of the world that care for the Volvo P1800, its heritage, its history and its future.
