Found this row of beauties at the harbour

These are Volvo Sportscars
The model is called P1800
The beige one nearest the camera looks very much like the same type wich was used in the series from TV, called "The Saint". with Roger Moore as the main carachter

. It was in the 60´ies

Wroom indeed. Love these old cars - especially the Volvos since I owned an Amazon once. Do you know that one?

By ricewood, # 6. June 2008, 22:53:33

Indeed I do Allan. A wonderful car. A buddy from the army had a slightly costomized one..with a B18 engine in it...it could really move. What colour was your Amazone? Any pics?

By nopanic, # 7. June 2008, 00:59:08

Yes, one photo. I was 22 at the time. Sorry 'bout the quality.

I have seen one of that kind (Volvo, right?) last year in Belgrade, dark blue, in excellent outside condition

By gdare, # 7. June 2008, 07:20:16

Yes, Darko. Volvo indeed.

Nicolas, I have made an entry about this. You got me started on old memories. And I have been re-calculating. I was 20 on that photo. A tender age.

*sigh*

Great Allan

. I like the pic. A fine young man and his devine mashine

Was the car a takeover from your dad or was it your own investment?
When I was 18 my father left for Spain, to live,he lft a wonderful VW 1600coupe behind. The one with the double Weber carborator
