1966 Volvo 1800S | Hertford, Hertfordshire

A 1966 Volvo 1800S, the slim Swedish-built coupé with a long bonnet and a low roofline. It is known for a durable 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine, with 200,000 miles not unusual, and for calm, well-balanced proportions. British viewers also know the P1800 as Simon Templar's car in The Saint. This car is black with a red interior: dark, clean panels outside and a warm contrast in the cabin. Its condition is very good, so paint and trim hold up in close-up. The low, long body leaves room in shot for the location around it. Black paintwork gives photographers and fashion and editorial teams deep reflections, with the red seats as a colour accent. The period shape suits advertising, music videos and film or TV set in the 1960s. It also makes a smart arrival car for a wedding or personal hire. The car is based in Hertford, Hertfordshire.
