This 1961 Volvo P1800 is an early-production coupe that was assembled in England by Jensen Motors, and the seller reports that it was purchased new by a privateer who outfitted it as a race car.
Chassis 1394 is said to have remained with the same family for six decades and was driven in events at Blackhawk Farms and Elkhart Lake throughout the 2000s.
In 2023, the car was fitted with a 2.0-liter B20B inline-four with a racing camshaft, dual Weber DCOE carburetors, and MSD ignition components.
The engine is backed by a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, and the race-prepped interior features a roll cage, Kirkey racing seats, a shift light, and AutoMeter gauges.
