Jay Leno discusses and drives ST1
on Mon 15-Sep-2014 at 9:42 AM in General tags: saintst1 with No Comments
A nice video from the Jay Leno’s Garage YouTube series shows off the fully restored ST1 Volvo 1800S from the TV series of The Saint with Roger Moore. All I can say is, what a wonderful restoration. Beautiful. […]
Back from winter storage
on Thu 27-Mar-2014 at 12:21 PM in General tags: winter with No Comments
Over the winter (November to March, inclusive) I put 64SAINT away in winter storage at Concours Cars. Although I’d not done this before, the reason for putting it away this past winter was pretty mundane: we only have a two car garage for three cars and I was getting tired of cleaning the snow and ice off my Audi (that’s the car that’s left outside when the Volvo is parked in the garage). […]
Minichamps red 1969 Volvo P1800
on Sat 26-Oct-2013 at 11:18 AM in General tags: models with No Comments
Earlier on this year, after at least a good three years of looking, I finally managed to score a red Minichamps Volvo P1800 1:43 model. It depicts a 1969 version with the straight front bumpers and so on. I’ve been meaning to take a picture of it on 64SAINT, but for some reason didn’t get round to it until today. […]

3 million reasons to believe
on Thu 8-Aug-2013 at 10:13 AM in General tags: irv-gordon with No Comments
Lest this blog become a blog about Irv Gordon, I must nevertheless post a link to this wonderful ad for Volvo. It features Gordon’s 1800S as it approaches its 3 million mile mark. Well, OK, Gordon was there all along too, so it’s his 3 million mile mark as well. […]
Volvo blog post on Irv Gordon

From the official Volvo US blog: a good post about Irv Gordon as he approaches the 3 million mile mark in his 1966 Volvo 1800S. Since the odometer only has 5 digits, he’s cycled through it 30 times… […]

Motor Trend article comparing the Volvo 1800E, AMC AMX, and Datsun 240Z
on Sun 20-Jan-2013 at 12:34 PM in General tags: datsun with No Comments
Back in the fall of 2012, Motor Trend published an article looking at the differences between the European, American, and Japanese ideas of what a sports car should be at the beginning of the 70s. They selected a 1971 Volvo 1800E (the last variant and the last year of the successful P1800 series coupe, the 1800ES was to continue another year), a 1969 AMC AMX, and the outstandingly successful Datsun 240Z. tl;dr: the Datsun nailed what it meant to be a sports car in the new era.

Concours Cars newsletter July 2012
on Thu 6-Dec-2012 at 7:24 PM in General tags: newsletter with No Comments
Concours Cars (where I get my Volvo 1800S serviced, if you haven’t worked it out by now) send out a monthly newsletter email to their customers. Each edition is about a car, concentrates on a particular model, has a picture of an example owned by a customer of theirs, and gives a little bit of history about the model. […]
