Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1973 Volvo 1800ES is a rare automatic model, one of only two registered in the UK. It features a gold metallic exterior, black interior, and has been in the same family for 33 years. While it runs and drives, it needs some cosmetic and recommissioning work after long-term storage.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in decent overall condition, runs and drives, but would benefit from some minor restoration/recommissioning work. The exterior has been resprayed 3 years ago, but the interior could use a thorough clean. The car has been garaged for the last 32 years and shows signs of careful storage but needs recommissioning. There are some documents and spare parts included. Therefore, a condition rating of 6 (Good) seems appropriate, as it has moderate wear and some reconditioning is required.
