Volvo P1800s for hire in Bradford
Hire this Volvo P1800s for your event
This P1800S coupe was first registered on 2nd January 1965 in Gothenburg, Sweden (the S standing for Sweden, not Sport). She currently has 85,000 miles on the clock and runs beautifully. Her bodywork was designed by Pelle Petterson in an italian studio in Frua and she remains in pristine condition.
When the TV production company looking for a car for Roger Moore to drive in "The Saint", intially they approached Jaguar for their E type, but they refused stating they had no need for the publicity - a decision they later regretted. Volvo however accepted and the car became a star. My P1800S is the exact same, model, year and colour of the one driven by Simon Templer in the TV series which went on to make Roger Moore not just a TV star, but a a film icon as 007 in the James Bond movies. He personally owned one and was often seen behind the wheel of his car in the late 1960's.
Since I have owned her, I have been carefully making some improvements. She now has power steering, upgraded headlights, spotlights and LED illumination to the dashboard, a new front RH bumper, exhaust and interior carpeting. I'm looking forward to exhibiting her in 2025 and hoping she may be of interest to you.
