Description
Designed by Swedish sailor and yacht designer Pelle Petterson whilst working at Italian design firm Pietro Frua. The Volvo P1800S and subsequent variations, rose to popularity in the early 1960s when featured in TV hit series 'The Saint', starring Roger Moore as Simon Templar. More the country club cruiser than fast performer, but with some charming finesse and charisma, it will be remembered dearly by those a little closer to retirement!
