1969 Volvo P1800S The Volvo P1800 is a two passenger front engine, rear driven sports car manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars as a coupe (1961-73). While the P1800 was more of a stylish touring car rather than a sports car when it came to its speed capabilities, the P1800 became popular when it was featured as the main car driven by Roger Moore in the hit television series The Saint which aired from 1962-1969.
