Restoration of Simon Templar's Volvo

Buddahaid · 09-06-22, 07:16 PM

I think I'd rather have this P1800 CYAN.

I got so excited by this all over again that I sent off for a white one I saw on eBay (has to be white for me because of the TV show) - just a 1:43 scale 'Atlas' model I'm afraid

But a nice blue one from 'Minichamps' for Buddababy

Here's the one I'd really like from eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255703427...Bk9SR4rMnPXiYA

"Sometimes" i do not understand people who buy a new Golf or SUV for 40,000+ when they could have that above.

Following the exciting car chases with the Volvo, it was a real come-down in one of the last episodes ('The Desperate Diplomat') to see Simon Templar going after a VW Beetle in this... a 1966 Fiat 850 coupé. It looks like a shed in comparison

(going a little off topic)

Another iconic Volvo car is the Amazon.

IXO-collection have a model of this car in scale 1/8.
(Which I would love to build)

Back to discuss Volvo P1800

(End of going a little...)

/\ Yes there were a lot of those about here in the UK when I was a kid - particularly in light blue. You just don't see them now and I always thought they looked cool, especially in red
