Hall of Fame

Bill Webb wrote and published in 1988 the book "Swedish Iron aka VOLVO 1800", which serves not only as a production history of the VOLVO 1800, but covers detailed restoration techniques and specifications.

Swedish Iron: Aka Volvo 1800 : 1961-1973 : 1800 History and Restoration Guide
1988, B. Webb Publishing; 152 pages

The specifications center around that of the VOLVO 1800 series, however the procedures and descriptions of various step-by-step restoration techniques can be used as a general guide for the repair and maintenance of many other cars of similar construction.

Bill Webb is a true sports car enthusiast having owned over 45 cars since the late fifties. He drove almost every model of VOLVO produced, starting with the purchase of a 444 sedan in 1958. He owned seven VOLVO 1800s. Also he has had a particular addiction to European sports cars of the 60's, many of which he has restored and shown at national levels.
