KENNETH COLLANDER, MATS WESTERMAN
Available since the end of December 2021, the history of the P1800 series. Three volumes in a neat box. However, only in Swedish, it is still undetermined whether there will be an English translation.

The format of the books is 260 x 240 mm, a total of 704 pages and 2,100 images (selected from over 5,000).
The book is dedicated to all those who were involved in the development and production of the Volvo P1800 series, as well as to all enthusiasts who appreciate these cars, their heritage and history. It tells a story based on first-hand facts, second-hand information and other data carefully checked and compiled.
