	Volvo Adventures, New Zealand - P1800 in New Zealand
		Having failed with the P1900 Volvo executives were no doubt keen to get it right the next time and their second attempt at creating a sports car was to become a truly European affair.
		Volvo abandoned the P1800 in the early 1970s but returned to the sports coupe in 1996 when it came out with the C70 in 1996.
		He writes: "The Volvo is reminiscent of the sort of robust and sensible car the Americans like to think they used to make, the ultimate reincarnation of the Ford Model A, and thus becomes equally acceptable to the New England academic, the mid-western farmer or the style conscious Californian computer buff".

	Promotex Online - The Saintly Volvo
		Volvo's own production capacity was already stretched to the limit and Petterson's plan was to farm out the tooling and assembly of the new car to Karmann.
		Fearing the new Volvo could hurt sales of their own cars, VW told Karmann they would cancel all their contracts if the P1800 was built in Osnabrück.
		The P1800 is still considered one of the most beautiful Volvos ever made and the public and press attending the Brussels show loved it.

	BBC NEWS \| Business \| Girl Power softens Volvo's edges
		Volvo's latest offering seems to be almost more of a break with tradition than the Women's Institute members stripping off for a calendar.
		Volvo is a subsidiary of Ford, and the Swedish carmaker's idiosyncratic insistence on practicality and safety seems to be spreading within the group.
		The decision was apparently taken after Volvo refused to accept plans to use a Mazda platform across the group since it did not live up to its safety standards.

	CanadianDriver: Motoring Memories - Volvo P1800
		The P1800 used many components from the 120-series Volvo sedan, known here as the 122-S, such as the running gear, 1780 cc overhead valve four-cylinder engine, and most suspension parts.
		Suspension was by A-arms with coil springs at the front and a solid axle with coils at the rear.
		Volvo introduced the P1800 to an enthusiastic public in 1961.

	VOLVO SWEDEN AND SWEDISH CARS HISTORY \| DIRECTORY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS \| VEHICLE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY \| CONCEPT CARS
		Even at this early stage in truck development, Volvo trucks were built to a very high standard in terms of their reliability and quality, especially compared to non-Swedish trucks, which had not been designed with the poor Swedish climate and poor Swedish roads in mind.
		By 1964 Volvo had opened a new production plant in Torslanda, Sweden capable of producing up to 200,000 cars a year and by 1966 the Volvo 140 family was introduced firstly as a saloon and later as an estate, helping to cement a family market that Volvo was rapidly claiming as its own.
		The Volvo 240 range replaced the 140 with even higher levels of safety and quality and was joined by the smaller Volvo 340 models from Holland to take Volvo’s sales past the 4 million mark by the end of the 1970’s.

	The Saint's Volvo 1800
		Indeed, an earlier P1800 model had already appeared as part of Corgi's standard range of model cars, one of which was featured in the 15th episode of the TV series, and it was possibly this that caused Corgi to embark on the idea of a Saint version of the model car.
		All parties were oblivious to the fact the Volvo was about to receive more publicity for its 1800 Series than it could ever have achieved by any other means and the TV company reputedly paid the full list price for the first 1800 car.
		During 1963, assembly of Volvo Pl800s was transferred from the UK to Sweden and a few minor changes to the detail of the car occurred with this move, while an 'S' suffix was added to the model designation.

	Volvo Cars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Volvo Cars was owned by AB Volvo until 1999, when it was acquired by the Ford Motor Company and placed in its Premier Automotive Group.
		The Volvo design team invented both the 'safety cage' and 'crumple zone' concept, where passengers are protected in a strong, encircling frame and the energy of a crash is absorbed by destruction of the bonnet or boot of the car.
		In the early 1970s, Volvo acquired the passenger car division of the Dutch company DAF, and marketed their small cars as Volvos before releasing the Dutch-built Volvo 340, which went on to be one of the biggest-selling cars in the UK market in the 1980s.

		During this time news had leaked to the press that Volvo was about to make a new sports car and Volvo had to confirm the circumstances.

	Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee Models in 1:60 scale
		In Wales, Corgi made a featureless P1800 casting with "Whizzwheels" that was a member of the Juniors range in addition to a "Rockets" version that was modeled after Simon Templar's chosen transport in "The Saint" television series.
		While these three miniatures may not seem like many, a collector should remember that P1800 models are abundant in 1:43 and that a myriad were produced in a variety of other scales.
		After the P1800, miniature Volvos once again disappeared from the annual diecast catalogs until the company completely abandoned its once rounded styling in favor of the now familiar and boxy shape that has affectionately became known the "brick".

		We swopped our 1963 Sunbeam Alpine convertible (in which mice had nested and were causing electrical problems!) for this solid hunk of Swedish steel - - it made a much better showing in fl and with new Pirelli tyres looked very swoopy and low and sporting!
		Great for ski trips and there was justroom for a baby crib in the back.
