In 1972, the last variant of the P1800 was built: the ES. The shooting brake was mainly characterised by the tailgate without pillars and made entirely of glass. Again, this model was initially designed by Italian coachbuilders: Frua and Coggiola. Volvo found the designs too futuristic, so the final design came from the hand of Jan Wilsgaard: designer of all Volvo models in his time, except thus the P1800 coupé and its predecessor P1900. The engine was mostly equipped with Bosch D-jetronic injection since 1970, so this was also the case with the ES. The Model Y with some improvements concerns model year 1973 and succeeded the Model W of model year 1972. Due to stricter environmental requirements in the United States, from 1974 Volvo saw no point in producing the ES any longer and only 8,077 examples were built. A timeless and unique model, combined with fine driving characteristics and, of course, a high degree of reliability!

This P1800 ES in the original color California white (no. 42) is from 1973 and was imported into the Netherlands in 1979. The interior is made of leather, in the original blue color (no. 460-888). The dashboard has Smith clocks in miles/hour and rpm.
