1972 Volvo P1800E for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1972 Volvo P1800E is a used car showing 179,333 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Gold Metallic with a Beige interior.

Its route runs from Gothenburg to Pasadena in California and back to Sweden, where it was restored and rebuilt with care in Charlottenberg. Original parts have been used for its upkeep, and a thick file of maintenance records and invoices traces its history.

The paint was redone some years ago and still looks tidy, the rubbers and glass are in very good order and the chrome shows an honest patina. Inside, the seats were retrimmed in quality beige leather, while the dashboard and carpets remain in fine shape. The dealer reports a quiet engine, easy gear changes and precise steering.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Volvo 1800E uses the 1,986 cc B20E four-cylinder with Bosch D-Jetronic electronic fuel injection, rated at 130 hp SAE (120 PS DIN) at launch, 124 PS DIN for 1972, 0 to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds and about 190 km/h, with the M41 four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, driving the rear wheels. It was the first version of the coupé with disc brakes on all four wheels. Pelle Petterson drew the shape in 1957 while working at Pietro Frua in Italy.

FAQ

This Volvo P1800E in the European market

Is this Volvo priced above or below the European market?

At €49,500, it sits above the median of €42,500 for the 3 Volvo advertised in Europe in 2026. 67% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Volvo be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Volvo P1800E cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €4,166 in the United States, excluding options. This car is advertised at €49,500, 1088% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1972 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Volvo compare?

179,333 km recorded, against a median of 114,920 km across the Volvo advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Volvo are priced closest to this one?

a 1966 car in the Netherlands at €42,500, and a 1960 car in the Netherlands at €24,750. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.
