Spotted this Volvo in Cloyne at the weekend.

Could you put a date and county on that reg for us carchaeologist?

Looks like it could be rescued, presuming the chassis isn't too bad. I wonder what the sticker says on the back?

It's a Cork reg and it's 1985. There was one with NCT and in good condition for sale in Youghal recently for 800 euros, I knew the car, one owner from new and the only reason for sale was the owner died, wouldn't have been for sale otherwise.

Carchaeologist is sleeping tonight, lol lol. The car was first registered in March 1985, probably on the 1st day of the month.

its located in co Galway ill pm you the exact location if your interested. im not sure who ownes it or if they will let you have it, some people are very strange when it comes to old cars, if i only had a yoyo for every time i enquired about a car with the guy saying no "im going to do her up" and then to see it still in the same place years later.

Absolutely, great spots. These Volvo should not be left out there in the open. Let's hope they're being prepared to be restored...

The Jags out there, make it painfully clear, that the values of these XJ saloons is now at an alltime low, and since these cars are pretty expensive to restore, some people feel they are left with no option as to just leave them to rot...

Actually, the correct name for the car in the pictures is the Volvo P1800. The sample picture used here, is a car from the first series, with the Jensen V-sign on the C-pillar
The production then moved to Sweden after about a year, because of the woefully bad bodywork that was created by Jensen in the UK. These Swedish cars where then called P1800 S.
The "ES" refered to above, was the "Shooting break" style P1800 with the glass hatch door. To make things even more confusion, there also was P1800 E, which had the fuel injection that was introduced in the saloon versions in the early seventies...
Nevertheless, wonderfully entertaining little sports cars, combining sporty feel with the rugged reliability of the proven and tested Volvo mechanics. You could literally use these cars on a daily basis!

You would look really cool in that.. re reg. '86 Co Clare. Must be there 15+ yrs.

mikkael

Skoda 105 methinks ... incidentally, would that unidentified motor above / below it be a Wolseley ... the type the Met used to use in the '60's?
