Whether already a Volvo P1800 owner, a prospective owner or simply an admirer, you'll find many useful nuggets of information here. Especially important if you are contemplating the purchase of one of the best looking classic sports cars ever produced, this handy pocket-sized book will guide you through how to select the right car, and provide essential advice on finding, buying and evaluating a Volvo P1800.

Perhaps not the typical Volvo P1800 owner, Neil's hankering for the model derived from a life-long exposure to Volvo cars in general – not from "The Saint" TV show, as some might suppose!
The autor Neil Murray: His father was in the Volvo Owners Club, and Neil accompanied him to many rallies, where the P1800 gradually became the focus of his attention. He has owned several 1970s-era Volvos since the early 1980s; in fact, his first Volvo, a 1973 144S, was his first car, bought before he could even drive.
Neil acquired his first P1800, a 1970 1800E, in 1988. He has owned and worked on them ever since, and now shares his first-hand experience and expertise in this book.
STOP! Don't buy a Volvo P1800 without buying this Essential buyer's Guide first!
The gentleman's guide to BOSCH D-Jetronic
The articles and information on the electronically controlled BOSCH D-Jetronic petrol injection system are becoming increasingly comprehensive on this site. The articles, documents, tables, lists and illustrations for maintenance, care and repair are systematically arranged in a special chapter. We have also included information for owners of a VOLVO 140 or VOLVO 164E with D-Jetronic.
Click on BOSCH D-Jetronic in the navigation.
As the problems with the maintenance of the D-Jetronic also affect vehicles of other manufacturers, we sometimes refer to these models as well.
The supply of components of the D-Jetronic has become more difficult, here we want to help you with our hints.
One request: Please help with your tips and comments to ensure that the BOSCH D-Jetronic can be well maintained in all vehicles. After all, the knowledge of the technical precursor of today's injection systems should be preserved for the owners of these special classic cars.
