He gave my 1970 1800 to a fellow named Andrew last year ago who did a great base metal restoration for about 5000 pounds, and it needed a lot of welding and removal of rotten metal. Andrew also kept a photo journal of the work, which he gave me at the end of the process. You can contact Tony at 0208 525 7283 and I think his email address is amazon@dircon.co.uk Give me a call if you need any further information.

I'm helping a friend with a 1967 1800S. I would like to make it safer by swapping in front disc brakes and a dual circuit master cylinder from a later year. Anyone else done this? Anyone have the parts for sale to do the swap? Thanks Hey everyone. I’m helping a friend with a 1967 1800S.

Sounds bloody stupid, but that was the problem, until I got a new battery and proper wiring.

I don't have a Volvo....I had the RARE Volvo book that I sold for $150 on eBay and bought for 25 cents at a yard sale! That's the closest I've been to owning a Volvo!
