The Volvo P1800 was among Europe’s finest coupes in the 1960s and 1970s together with several products in the same category from Germany and Italy. It was launched originally in 1961 and remained in production until 1973, which is a rather long life cycle by today’s standards. But even though it was on the production lines for more than a decade, only about 39,000 examples from the coupe version were built. Not many of them are still alive and on the road and you can probably imagine how precious an abandoned and found P1800 can be these days.
This is what motivated us to share this 14-minute video with you, our fellow Motor1.com readers. At a glance, it may not seem like a typical barn find video from an auto enthusiast but feel free to skip the first about nine minutes and jump over to the point where a hidden P1800 reveals itself. We don’t know much about the location where this video was shot but we know for sure it was somewhere in the United Kingdom. But that’s really not the important part here.
