"One of the world's finest and most unique Volvo 1800 S is stolen.
The car, a Volvo P1800 has chassis number 2, and was the very first model that rolled out of the factory in 1960.

The car was unveiled to the world for the first time at the Motor Show in Brussels in January 1961.
The pre production show car was done in haste, and many details had to be corrected before the show.
An inspector from the Volvo pounced upon not less than 95 points on the car.
which had a body shell made in England by Jensen.


In 2002 Volvo enthusiast Mats Eriksson bought the car
- he is also vice chairman of Volvo P1800 Club.
The Volvo was in a really bad condition.
The restoration to original condition took six years.
Today the car is nicely painted in its original red color.

The car was stolen from a storage room outside the airport north of Stockholm during the night between 21 and 22 August, report to Larmtjänst.se.
The Volvo is estimated to be worth about half a million Swedish kroner. Tell alarm service if you have seen the unique car!
