Finally available: 1800S panels for the dashboard
For years, owners of the 1800S model have been looking for replacements for the panels on the dashboard. Now Mattias Dehlbom (S) is offering replicas to the International Volvo Community.
When Mattias could not find an adequate replacement during the restoration of his own 1800S, he decided to start a small-scale production himself together with a friend.
The trims 3,6 and 8 are available as a set at a price of 3.500 SEK (about 350 EUR), plus shipping costs.
The picture shows thepanel 3. Above the reproduction, below an original from 1966.
The panels fit for LHD and RHD vehicles. Interested owners contact this address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
