Volvo is a P1800ES. Very much like the Scimitar GTE. Not bad motors and Volvo still hark back to the styling (see recent Volvo thing and 480ES).

I'm sure I mentioned it before, but I know where there is a P1800S sat covered in an inch or more of dust. Its been sat in a garage for years, as the owner never came back for it. Just like this, with a little more rust. Not a huge amount of grot, though I have never looked underneath.  There was also another red one out the back at one point, or at least what was left of it. It was rotten and had actually become one with a large thorn bush. When the thorn bush/weeds were cut away, the (barely recognisable) remains of the car were taken away with it.  |

I know where theres one doing nothing. Not sure if its complete or for sale even.
They did get very expensive at one point, but not so bad now?
