The man behind the project was an engineering consultant to Volvo, Helmer Pettersson, who in the 1940s was responsible for the Volvo PV444. The design work was done by Helmer's son Pelle Pettersson, who worked at Pietro Frua at that time. Volvo insisted it was an Italian design by Frua and only officially recognized that Pelle Pettersson designed it in 2009.[4] The Italian Carrozzeria Pietro Frua design firm (then a recently acquired subsidiary of Ghia) built the first three prototypes, designated: P958-X1, P958-X2 and P958-X3. In December 1957 Helmer Petterson drove X1, (the first hand-built P1800 prototype) to Osnabrück, West Germany, headquarters of Karmann. Petterson hoped that Karmann would be able to take on the tooling and building of the P1800. Karmann's engineers had already been preparing working drawings from the wooden styling buck at Frua. Petterson and Volvo chief engineer Thor Berthelius met there, tested the car and discussed the construction with Karmann. They were ready to build it and this meant that the first cars could hit the market as early as December 1958. But in February, Karmann's most important customer, Volkswagen VAG, forbade Karmann to take on the job.[citation needed] They were afraid that the P1800 would compete with the sales of their own cars, and threatened to cancel all their contracts with Karmann if they took on the coachbuilding of this car. This setback almost caused the project to be abandoned.[citation needed] Other German firms NSU, Drautz and Hanomag were contacted but none of them were selected because Volvo did not believe these firms met their manufacturing quality control standards. Volvo P958-X2 1957 prototype It began to appear that Volvo might never produce the P1800. This motivated Helmer Petterson to obtain financial backing from two financial firms with the intention of buying the components directly from Volvo, and marketing the car himself. At this point Volvo had made no mention of the P1800 and the factory would not comment. Then a press release surfaced with a photo of the car, putting Volvo in a position where they had to acknowledge the car's existence. These events influenced the company to renew its efforts, the car was presented to the public for the first time at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1960 and Volvo turned to Jensen Motors whose production lines were under capacity, and they agreed to a contract of 10,000 cars.[citation needed] The Linwood, Scotland, body plant of manufacturer Pressed Steel was in turn contracted by Jensen to create the unibody shell, which then shipped via rail to be assembled at Jensen in West Bromwich, England. In September 1960, the first production P1800 (for the 1961 model year) left Jensen for an eager public. [edit] P1800 The engine provided was the B18 (B for the Swedish word for gasoline: Bensin; 18 for 1800 cc displacement) with dual SU carburettors, producing 100 hp (75 kW). This variant (named B18B) had a different camshaft from, and higher compression than, the slightly less powerful twin-carb B18D used in the contemporary Amazon 122S. The 'new' B18 was actually developed from the pre-existing B36 V8 engine employed in Volvo trucks at the time. This cut production costs, as well as furnishing the P1800 with a strong engine boasting five main crankshaft bearings. The B18 was matched with the new and more robust M40 manual gearbox through 1963. From 1963 to 1972 the M41 gearbox with electrically actuated overdrive was a popular option. Two overdrive types were used, the D-Type through 1969, and the J-type through 1973. The J-type had a slightly shorter ratio of 0.797:1 as opposed to 0.756:1 for the D-type. The addition of this overdrive gave the 1800 series a defacto fifth gear, allowing it greater fuel efficiency and decreased drivetrain wear. Cars sold without overdrive had a numerically lower geared differential, which had the interesting effect of giving them a somewhat higher top speed (just under 120 mph) than the more popular overdrive models. This was because the non-overdrive cars could reach the engine's redline in top gear, while the overdrive-equipped cars could not, giving the latter a top speed of roughly 110 mph (177 km/h). [edit] 1800S Volvo 1800 S coupe Volvo 1800ES prototype by Frua As time progressed, Jensen had problems with quality control, so the contract was ended early at 6,000 cars. In 1963 production was moved to Volvo's Lundby Plant in Gothenburg and the car's name was changed to 1800S (the 'S' indicating Swedish assembly). The engine was improved with an additional 8 hp (6 kW). In 1966 the four-cylinder engine was updated to 115 hp (86 kW). Top speed was 175 km/h (109 mph).[3] In 1969 the B18 engine was replaced with the 2-liter B20B variant of the B20 giving 118 bhp (89 kW), though it kept the designation 1800S. [edit] 1800E For 1970 numerous changes came with the fuel-injected 1800E, which had the B20E engine with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection and a revised camshaft and produced 130 bhp (97 kW) from its 2-litres without sacrificing fuel economy. Top speed was around 190 km/h (just under 120 mph) and acceleration from 0–100 km/h (0-62.1 mph) was 9.5 seconds. In addition, the 1970 model was the first 1800 to appear with four-wheel disc brakes. Prior to this, the 1800 series had front discs and rear drums. [edit] 1800ES In 1972 came the last model, the 1800ES, a coupé station wagon or what the British would call a shooting-brake version with an all-glass tailgate. The final design was chosen after two prototypes had been built by Coggiola and Pietro Frua. Frua's very unusual looking prototype, Raketen ("the Rocket", on the right), currently resides in the Volvo Museum. Both of the Italian prototypes were considered too futuristic, and instead in-house designer Jan Wilsgaard's proposal was accepted.[5] The ES engine was downgraded to 125 bhp (92 kW) by reducing the compression ratio with a thicker head gasket (engine variant B20F); although maximum power was slightly down the engine was less "peaky" and the real-world performance was actually improved. Volvo P1800ES front rear The ESs rear backrest folded down to create a long flat loading area. In addition to the usual four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, a Borg-Warner three-speed automatic was also available in the P1800ES.[6] With stricter American safety and emissions standards looming for 1974, Volvo did not see fit to spend the considerable amount that would be necessary to redesign the small-volume P1800 ES.[5] Only 8,077 of the ES were built in its two model years. [edit] Influence The all-glass tailgate of the ES-model would prove to be very popular with future Volvo-designers. A similar design was used on the Volvo 480, and on multiple concept cars. The Volvo C30 also uses this design. [edit] End of the line For the last model year, 1973, only the 1800ES was produced. Total production of the 1800 line from 1961 through 1973 was 47,492 units. Production ended on June 27, 1973,[7] although Volvo was in negotiations with Sergio Coggiola concerning a possible P1800ESC. The cause of the P1800's demise was its competition; The Volvo P1800 was introduced at the same time as the Jaguar E-Type and in the US the P1800's price was not much less than the Jaguar.[8] In fact in the UK it was slightly more expensive than the Jaguar. While Volvo never produced factory convertibles of the 1800, these were produced in the aftermarket. [edit] The Saint's Volvo 1800 The Saint logo near P958-X2 at Volvo Museum A white Volvo P1800 (with licence plate ST1) driven by Simon Templar, played by Roger Moore, was featured in the TV series The Saint beginning in 1962 and played a prominent role throughout the entire run of the show. Two new cars were introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961, a Jaguar E-type and the Volvo P1800. Jaguar was first offered the opportunity to provide an E-Type for the series but declined, feeling they had too much demand already and did not see the need for additional press. When asked for a P1800, Volvo jumped at the chance which led to an increase of sales of the P1800 and the creation of a 1960s' icon. Later, in the 1970s when The Return of the Saint was created, Jaguar made up for their mistake and offered the new XJ-S for the series. Volvo lent two cars initially for the series - one for static studio shots and the other for moving shots. When the P1800S came along, one of the earlier cars was cut up to allow better interior shots. Roger Moore was so smitten with the Volvo that he bought one for his own personal use. [edit] Record-breaking 1800 A 1966 Volvo 1800S owned by Irv Gordon of East Patchogue, New York, USA has the Guinness world record for highest mileage in the same vehicle he has been driving for more than 40 years. It had covered in excess of 2,219,751 miles (3,572,343 km) by March 2004, and passed the 2,600,000-mile (4,180,000 km) mark by October 2007.[9][10][11] As of November, 2009, the car is at 2.7 million miles and the owner is now targeting the three million mile mark.[12] He has driven about 26,000 of those miles outside of the U.S., in Canada and Mexico, as well as in Europe. "In Sweden, we drove to Volvo's global headquarters to see where the P1800 was born", Gordon said. On April 2, 2002, Gordon and his 1800S were guests on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, after reaching the two million milestone. As of July 2010, Gordon reached 2.8 million miles for his 70th birthday, and announced that he hopes to reach 3 million by the time he turns 73. That feat will require him to drive an average of around 5,500 miles per month. [edit] 50th Anniversary Pelle Pettersson near the P958-X1 at the 50th anniversary A major and much acclaimed 50th Anniversary of the P1800 took place in France on June 13, 2010 during the Viking Classic Auto Show, celebrating the first presentation of the P1800 to the public at the Brussels Motor Show in 1960. The show with more than 350 Volvo cars gathered the rarely seen number of 80 Volvo P1800 of all types and from all over Europe and the prototype P958-X1 in presence of Pelle Petterson as well as Irv Gordon. The event was promoted with the support of Volvo Cars Heritage. Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Volvo P1800 [edit] References ^ a b c d World Cars 1972.

This is one of the largest gatherings of import cars in the US and "ST1" was given a special indoor display for four entire days! I was quite impressed by the hospitality of the organizers as I had driven 'ST1" and needed rides to and from the event. What was a suprise to me were the number of people who came to look at the car. Many, many folks had read about it and came to Carlisle just to see the car that had inspired them many years ago. Several folks thanked me personally for restoring the car and for bringing it to the US. I must say the experience was quite overwhelming. It was reaffirming to know that there are many folks out there who still hold Sir Roger Moore, "The Saint" TV series, and "ST1" dearly. Also on display were several of the Disney "Herbie" movie cars and these attracted quite a number of young people. I am sending several photos from the event separately so as not to fill your inbox. Best Regards, Bill Krzastek Update by Bill 11 October 2005 Hello to all. I know that this is old news to some of you but I am finally getting around to posting photos of "ST 1" arriving in the US. It was safely delivered to Waynesboro, Virginia in it's shipping container on September 21. It literally was the largest Corgi "Saint's Volvo" you've ever seen! Enclosed are photos of it in it's "box" and after I cleaned it up and detailed the trunk er.. boot. The original trunk mat and side boards all cleaned up beautifully. Even the original Minilite spare wheel is back where it belongs. The car was at my home for only three days when it left for Anaheim, California to take part in Volvo U.S.'s unveiling of their new C70 Coupe/Convertible at the California International Auto Show. Some cars have all the fun.... Best Regards, Bill Update by Bill 21 July 2005 Here is the latest update on "ST 1", the 1967 Volvo 1800S: on June 17, I went to the UK and finally had a chance to see the car in person. The purpose of the visit was to be interviewed for the articles being prepared for the London Sunday Times and Classic& Sportscar Magazine by motoring journalist, Giles Chapman, on this most famous car. (Link to the article in Sunday Times) I also got to finally meet Tony Davey and John Best who have been restoring the car and keeping me in pictures of the progress. On Saturday, we took "ST 1" to a Church fait, which is a fundraiser for St. Nickolas's Church in Rattlesden. We used the car to raffle off a chance to ride in "The Saint's car". It was a very popular exhibit! Please see photo titled Winner1 to see her get her ride! By the way, I won a bottle of Sherry at the Fait! (I also bought a Saint paperback at the book stand titled 'The Saint Sees it Through' which was rather appropriate considering the size of this project.... On Sunday, "ST 1" was scheduled to be an attraction at the Rowley Mile Horserace Track in Newmarket. This was another "Saintly" endeavor as this was a fund raiser for the Arthur Rank Hospice and the British Heart Fund. It was a great time with displays of both classic and new cars. "ST 1" was incredibly popular even among children which really surprised me. The most popular pose was among adults with their arm stretched towards the green logbook with Roger Moore's signature while shouting to someone "It's the real one!" This went on all day. Tony and I sat nearby and watched. Quite amusing. By the way, The Mini folks were there and posted some photos on their website: http://www.mfu.org.uk/row2005.htm This happened to be the hottest day in four decades (lucky us). It was in the low 90's. See photos of Tony Rowley and Stilts to see the car at this fundraiser. ......Bill Krzastek Winner1 Tony found a spare set of original keys behind the tail light! How they got there is anyone's guess but I'll be checking the previous owners.... After seeing Karl Eric's photos of the car on the Swedish 1800 website, I knew something needed to be done before the photo shoots. Tony found a man who does mobile connollizing, so he came out and did the seats. They look so much better now. It's hard to believe these are the same seats upon which Roger Moore and his co-stars sat! Finished and Absolutely Gorgeous ! Pictures taken 31/5/05 by Karl Eric Målberg In this weeks exciting episode, ST I receives it's newly rebuilt engine (thanks to GCP and Ivor Searles Engine Reconditioning) which gives new meaning to the phrase: "Bottoms Up" as this is how it was installed Bill 23/5/05 Well, here we are looking more(Moore) like a car. Note the new Minilites which I had made with the same truncated spokes as per the originals.(took a bit of persuading to convince Minilite to do this as they have not made this style in 30 or so years -Thanks to Don Simmons of Minilite!) We will use the corroded original wheels for display only as some of the magnesium had started to break away. The spare will be one of the originals, however, since it is not too bad as it really was the original spare! ....and yes, Roger Moore and Shirley Eaton really sat in these seats..actually Shirley and Roger sat in both seats in the episode "Invitation to Danger" directed by Mr. Moore! Bill 15/05/05 Here we are in the paint booth today (April 19) looking very Saintly!! To those who do not know him, that's Tony Davey preparing the car. Thanks to Bennicks for the donation of their paintbooth for the day and to Flinco for the paint!!

Types: Coupe,2 doors,2 seats [View Picture Gallery] The Volvo P1800 is a classic sports car from Volvo. The project was started in 1957 because Volvo wanted a sports car, despite the fact that their previous attempt, the P1900 had been a disaster, with only 68 cars sold. The man behind the project was an engineering consultant to Volvo, Helmer Petterson, who in the 1940s was responsible for the Volvo PV444. The design work was done by Helmer's son Pelle Petterson, who worked at Pietro Frua at that time. The Italian Carrozzeria Pietro Frua design firm (then a recently acquired subsidiary of Ghia) built the first three prototypes, designated: P958-X1, P958-X2 and P958-X3. Volvo launched its first (and last true sports car) P1800 coupe in 1960. The new model had elegant styling and offered reasonable performance along with the usual Volvo safety features. Bodies for the P1800 were built in the UK by Jensen who normally specialised in glass fibre sports cars. As well as the P1800 coupe model Volvo also offered an attractive and practical "Sports-estate" model, the 1800ES, which followed the same principles first seen on the Reliant Scimitar. Powered initially by a 1.8 litre engine and later by a 2.0 litre unit, the 1800 range included a more powerful 1800S (1963-69) and later (1969-72) a 1800E coupe. Production lasted until 1972 when it was sadly deleted by Volvo. A white Volvo P1800 (with licence plate ST1) driven by Simon Templar, played by Roger Moore, was featured in the TV series The Saint beginning in 1962 and played a prominent role throughout the entire run of the show. There were two exciting new cars introduced at the Paris Auto Show in 1962, and Jaguar was first offered the opportunity to provide an E-Type car for the series but declined as they had too much demand already and didn't see the need for additional press (a similar situation arose with Mars Candies' M&Ms and Reese's Pieces in the movie "E.T."). Volvo was then asked for a P1800, and they jumped at the chance leading to a nice increase of sales of the P1800 and the creation of a 1960s' icon. Later, in the 1970s when The Return of the Saint was created, Jaguar made up for their mistake and offered the new XJ-S for the series. One of the Volvo 1800s used in the Saint TV series in 1967 has been faithfully restored and is now owned by Bill Krzastek. It does indeed look like a giant-size Corgi Saint Volvo, and it has appeared in a number of auto shows. Practical Classics July 2010 - Featuring Buyers Volvo 1800 (1961-1973).
