OH MY [no words]

Oof

That is absolutely stunning. I remember an abandoned P1800 in Swansea about 15 years ago, but it's long gone now. Shame, they're about the only Volvo I'd ever describe as pretty!

Wow! I didn't think you could do much to make a P1800 prettier but that is stunning! Very subtle and well concieved. Id even argue to many peoples shock and horror that a well sorted P1800 like that one is prettier than an E-type.

Have to agree, E Types just never really did it for me, but this is as close to a perfect front end as I've ever seen.

Very nice indeed.

Had two. '62 Jensen P1800 and '66 1800S. In fact still got engine, gearbox, all interior, dash, doors, glass, etc in the lock-up from the '66 that got broken due to severe rot and massive previous bodges (filler 2" thick). Wonderful cars. No fast but loads of style. Only problem is cost of body repair parts and that is why I got rid of my '62 as it needed quite a bit of work to make perfect and way beyond my budget. For example full set of inner and outer sills is just under £1000 for parts alone !

I think that may be perfect, I see nothing I'd like to change at all.

Agreed, I much prefer the P1800 to the E-type.

That's beautiful...but I'd put the front bumper back on.

Is this were we all start posting photos of these beautiful cars?

Like this...











I know the above is just a computer image. But wouldn't it be great if someone would build this car for real?

Wait a minute...they are! (See below pic's).
