The Volvo P1800 is a two-passenger, front-engine, rear-drive sports car manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars as a coupe (E) (1961–73) and shooting-brake (ES) (1972–73). Development work started as early as 1957, led by Helmer Petterson, consultant design engineer for Volvo with design work done by his son Pelle Petterson, With German firm Karmann approached to build the bodies, but a conflict of interest between the new project and the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia already under manufacture at Onnasbruck led to a break down in negotiations .An alternate builder was sort and finally Jensen Motors was selected, with Jensen subcontracting the work to Pressed Steel at Linwood, Scotland to create the shells with final assembly at Jensens West Bromwich plant.

The first P1800 was thus completed at Jensen in in 1960, powered by a Volvo B18 engine (1778cc) twin carburettor engine with an output of 118bhp. The first 6000 cars were completed at Jensen by 1963, by which time Jensen or Pressed Steel were experiencing quality control issues bringing the Volvo agreement to an end

From 1963 production was shifted to Volvo's Lundby Plant in Gothenburg and the car's name was changed to P1800S (S for Sweden). The engine was improved with an additional 8 hp and uprated again in 1966 to 115 PS In 1969 the B18 engine was replaced with the 2-litre B20B variant of the B20 giving 118 bhp the P1800S name was kept.

The P 1800E was the third generation, visually similar to the earlier cars except for cast alloy wheels and matt black grille. The B20 engine a boost with the addition of Bosch fuel injection taking the output to 120bhp, and the car got overdrive as standard. As before the Coupe featured same distinctive styling and marginal 2+2 accommodation. received
