1800 interior restyle 1800

posted by  someone claiming to be Juan P. on  Wed Feb 19 06:30 CST 2003 [RELATED]

When did Volvo get around to restyling the 1800's interior? Was it '69 or '70, when the B20E came around?

    '70-'71 got the fake-wood dash, 3-spoke steering wheel, and center console, but the rest of the interior stayed the same as it had been since '64 except for headrests. '72-'73 got different seats and door panels.

    Not sure if any of this was in a '69 -- it's the least-produced year and I don't think I've even knowingly looked inside one.

      After the summerbrake of '69 as the "E" was introduced they changed the interior, also the tunnel is wider compared to the "S", bare this in mind when buying your carpet....

      Black grill insert, through air ventilation with black plastic vents at the rear, black Smith instruments together with B20E fuel injection and rearwindow heating (electric)

      The pre summer model was the B20B with double stromberg carbs, the transient last "S" model.

        I have an p1800s S Series ('69 twin SU's (in Aust anyway)).

        The only difference I can see is that they have the later steering wheel (black 3 spoker) and mine has the black grill of an S rather than the silver one. Not sure about this one, I have been told the silver ones were hard to come by for a while and that mine may have been silver but replaced with a black one after an accident ......
