Foreword:  

This little corner in the world wide web started in August/96 with my first internet webpage. By then Geocities was a free web provider. Now after being bought and sold several times, became a commercial provider and I gave up maintain the old website.

I decided now to borrow some space from my company's (AVANTEC) website to devote some attention to my passion: classic cars, namely Volvos (but not only).

When I started using internet found a lot of information and websites devoted to classic cars and specially a very rare one, that I hardly have seen before: Volvo P1800.

Collected some photos, visited many websites and newsgroups wishing secretly to own my classic car one day.

After my first tour with a classic car borrowed from my cousin, the family (read: wife) was convinced. Sooner a Volvo 245DL van came up. But wasn't exactly what we had in mind...my wife didn't liked it; thought it was more an old car rather than a classic.

It didn't last much before a better car showed up. Read the history (here) how a P1800 fell in my garage! With its unique customized rear "finless" the only one in the world, as far as I know.

Now, because life is always moving and reason should overcome passion, it must go to another owner, and happy family. I just hope that someone that will love and take care of this car as I have for the past 7 years. Meanwhile the photos, story and this website devoted to the red "finless" P1800 with chassis #12895 will remain. The dream is alive!

The first Portuguese webpage (since 1998) dedicated to the most bizarre and exquisite Volvo model, the P1800, now redesigned, will continue in the world wide web to all the Volvo fans out there!

update (April/2007): this car was sold  due to lack of time to support it. Was delivered to a good home. I am sure the new owner will keep it as well as I did in the past 8 years and will enjoy it also as much as I did.
