Volvo 1800-ES Rally-ready

"The Volvo 1800ES...was built on the foundation of the Volvo P1800 and the original design sketches had been labelled the “Beach Car” by designer Jan Wilsgaard...Its two-door configuration coupled with the long “estate” rear means it’s classed as a shooting brake in Britain ...(aka stationwagon). 8,077 examples of the model would be made and surviving examples are now popular with collectors..." -from Ben Branch's piece on a rally-ready 1800ES in Silodrome
AL has posted several 1800ES, in green...and yellow. But perhaps our favorite Volvo is the P-210.
