Is very beautiful indeed. I love this vintage sportscars. Another of my favorites, and from a very unknown brand is the Pegaso Z-102. A beautiful work of art of the engine world.
Hi Guy's! I'm a Old School mechanic! I have a business specialising in restoration and modification of these Cute little Swedish gems. I currently have five of these cars in my care ! Greetings from Windsor N.S.W. Oztralia!
Back in the eighties a buddy of mine was torn between buying the P1800 or a Porsche Speedster. He couldn't afford the Speedster and bought the P1800 instead. I named it the Swedster.😁 Yours is absolutely stunning!
These cars are severely underrated. Beautiful lines like the Italian sports cars of the time but with one of the most reliable and easy to work on engines ever produced. Love all the modifications on this one. One of a kind car.
Dude! This is one of the best looking cars that I've ever seen. I've never imagined being in love with a Volvo. This is a killer build. My hats off to you.
This Volvo is phenomenal. I have always found the P1800 to be utterly beautiful, I haven't seen one restomoded like this and it is stunning. Immediately looking for one now.
As a proud Volvo owner I am in awe at what you’ve created. I love absolutely everything about this machine- but the lowering and the widening of the wheels with those fender flares?? Absolutely improves the original design.
I would love to drive this wonderful car on one of those twisty coastal roads between cliffs and with the sea at your side. There is nothing more pleasurable than driving these agile cars winding around the constant turns with the sea breeze as a companion.
@@kcirfulI had to repaint one of the gauges. Disassembly is risky w the chrome bevels, but it was worth it. Matched the turquoise and you cannot tell which one is original
What the 1965 Mustang should have been!! Badass car, would also love to own one!! You've done a beautiful job, it's amazing, would be proud to own it!!
I like what you did with the modifications. I own a 64 1800S driver that is very original , Red over black. Love the styling of these cars! Owning these cars are special in that people just don't see them often. My car always stands out at shows that are filled with all the typical American muscle cars.
I read all of the Saint novels by Leslie Charteris. They started in 1928 with “Meet The Tiget” I’d ride my bike to used book stores to look for them.. I grew up watching Roger Moore in The Saint. My Stepmother owned a 1973 P188 when she married my dad. I’ve loved them since. I WANT this car.
Long time fan of the P1800. In theory, ‘rodding’ a P1800 by slamming it, adding fat white sidewall wheels with oversized arches, shouldn’t work, but boy it does. And credit to the owner for having done all the work himself. Lovely job and attention to detail. F*cking love it.
It wouldn’t truly be a Volvo conversation without mentioning the legendary P1800 and its incredible 3.5 million miles by one owner. Incredible! Does not get more Volvo than that!
I'm an old guy and remember the P1800 as a real bargain GT, although out of my range. The Saint TV show was based on a series of books in the 1930's and 40's, written by Leslie Charteris. The stick figure "saint" with a halo was always on the book cover. The "sinner" figure is a nice take-off. This is real nice restoration especially for a first timer and for a car of this sort who cares if it gets demerits at an auto show.
This is one of the best cars ever built. The P1800s will only get more valuable every year. They used to put superchargers on 4-cylinder Volvos. We had a 1960s sedan and wagon. Now you know every inch of that wonderful car because you built it. Wonderful job. I love your car.
P1800 is one of my favorite cars. One of my parents' employees at their repair garage owned one and he was the coolest cat. Fond memories. Great car! Beautiful restoration!
Very cool car. Equally cool video. Thanks! ❤ When I was in high school, in the late 1960s, the father of a buddy of mine owned one of these. I never got to drive it, but I’ll never forget sitting in it and working the shifter. It was built like a Swiss watch. Unbelievable technical excellence.
Back in the late 70's my buddy had a '67. Dark green with a tan interior. That's when I fell in love with the P1800. Love what you've done with yours! Great job! ✌
LOVE IT! My first car was a 122s Volvo "Amazon" that was very responsive and exotic in 1972 Missouri. But I was working at the Chrysler assembly plant where they were making muscle cars that couldn't take a corner (and catching hell from co-workers), even tho' I loved the power of a V8. I finally drove a 1800 ES and was terribly disappointed in it's acceleration and body roll. So kept bouncing between Volvo (142, 264, 740turbo, V90, v70) & US cars numerous times, settling on BMWs. After seeing your car and seeing what it could be, I need to revisit my 1800 obsession.
I used to watch reruns of the The Saint with my dad and I remembered the car and instantly made the connection to the original show. Bravo on The Sinner!
Beautiful freaking beautiful! And with loving respect to the legendary "red" block that runs forever. 1800 is a dream for me. I have had 122, 240, 740, 960, 850r, xc70.........and a few more but 1800 has escaped me so far
Nice!! You did a great job with The Sinner!! If this was your first car renovation I'm even more impressed! It turned at beautiful! Greetings from SWEDEN🏴☠
My dad had a 64 B18 when I was a kid. The 4 speed shifter was about 36in long. To this day I always wanted to resto mod one. Never ran across one to do and I ended up doing a 66 C10. Nice job on you Volvo brings back so many memories.
Here in the UK an iconic white P1800 is the holy grail - because of the connection with The Saint TV series. Unfortunately back in the day the car was not as sporty as it’s looks would suggest and performance wise it was certainly no match for an E Type. However you’ve really nailed it with this car, it’s great. Well done.
Ken Russell you did a wonderful job on this P1800! Very knowledgeable too. I always wondered why this particular model looked so good and was such a departure from standard Volvo; now I know - the Italians were involved! It all makes sense now
I've always loved the P1800 design and shape. IMHO this is the nicest looking one I've ever seen and the "making it yours" modifications reveal your excellent tastes. Very well done Sir! Borrowing from the p-car world, this should be specified proudly as a "P1800 Outlaw". "The Sinner" is a perfect name for it too.
Beautifully done, if I had one now this is the direction I would want to go with it. My dad had one when I was a very little kid and there are lots of pictures of me pretending to drive it. My passion for cars started with this one at 2 years old.
One of the best looking cars I've ever seen.
You must be 10-11 years old.
No lies were detected in the above statement....
Is very beautiful indeed. I love this vintage sportscars. Another of my favorites, and from a very unknown brand is the Pegaso Z-102. A beautiful work of art of the engine world.
@@bierlichen1 So what's a good looking car to **you** then?
It was before this idiot got his hands on it!
That is a sweet car... I made an exclamation when I saw this, I am 70 years old and love everything about this piece.
A sweet BADASS car
too damm cool
Well don't leave us hanging, what was your exclamation?
It was all a lie and the guy didn’t built any part of this car.
Damn
The car is a work of art, and presented in an art district really set it off!
Thank you for watching!
Hi Guy's!

So I’m guessing you are not on the American continent?
That’s awesome, would love to come film them!

Nice name! I made the video for my buddy Ken, check out his channel here with more clips of the Sinner www.youtube.com/@Thesinner1800
@@IAMRobertLyon Great video too.
As a pure Swede, I must say you made one hell of a job making this rare and iconic beauty even more beautiful.
This car is an absolute masterpiece. I want one.

The white letters just make that car look so wicked 👌
Agree!
A beautiful classic ! Great restoration ! "Now , The Saint has a darker nemesis ! Behold , "THE SINNER" Volvo P 1800 S ! A truly dynamic rival 👍👍👍👍 !
I've seen a black with red interior in Britain.
That one is something else. Just beautiful.
This is a pure piece of art
This car is so sick, well done
Hands-down, the coolest and most BADASS Volvo ever to exist!
I bow before thee!!
This is one of the coolest cars I have ever seen hands down...
Outstanding, true to yourself. Your P 1800 would get my trophy pick.
😮 Whaaat! That’s a Volvo?! Freakin’ sweet looking ride! Well done 👏🏾
I can't believe I lived this long without knowing about this piece of art. What a magnificent piece of engineering.
SAME!
Hell yes.
When Volvo made truly beautiful cars. Love what you've done with it
Dude! This is one of the best looking cars that I've ever seen. I've never imagined being in love with a Volvo. This is a killer build. My hats off to you.
That is the epitome of beautiful car. Truly beautiful
Thanks for watching!
I grew up on The Saint (Moore) and have always had a soft spot for the 1800. Nicely done!
that‘s not a car it‘s a piece of art.
"THE SINNER" A perfect rival vehicle for "The Saint " Volvo P1800 S !
@@CarlosChristian-n8t thanks for watching

Never seen one before, I would marry this car it's stunning 😍
Very Nice! The stance definitely made a huge improvement.
Gorgeous, only Volvo I ever fell in love with.
I don't know what I'm more admired of... your great taste or your craftsmanship... car is gorgeous!
Damn, what a beautiful car. Those lines are amazing.
Stunning 1800! Definitley a bucket list car for me.
Had a 71 1800E as a young man as my daily driver for 3.5 years, loved it and was very reliable. Probably my favorite car to date, I'm 69 now.
Had a '67 1800 S but that E was a very stylish edition of the model. Loved mine to death!
Nice.
I'm 74 and fell in love with the P1800 as a teen. Yours is a stunner.
Love it. The black with red interior, the stance, everything is perfect.
What a great interpretation of that car! Beautiful
Quite possibly the best looking car I've ever seen and I've been around
What a beautiful machine!
Robert this turned out great. You really hit it out of the park. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

a real beauty! authenticity is the word
The turquoise color inlayed into the background of the gauges is badazz.

Absolutely gorgeous Volvo!!!
Ive always loved the Volvo P1800, but THIS one is gorgeous!!
i never knew anything about this car, but THIS one is gorgeous!!
I’ve always loved this Volvo, outstanding restoration!
as far as classic European cars go, this is near the top of the list of awesome! This Resto-Mod is sublime.
Simple and so stylish. Beautiful
Few cars have this much aesthetic appeal. Objectively one of the most beautiful cars in the world.
Nice job my dad had one in the sixties. Wish he was still here to see yours.RIP dad .
Love watching true passion unfold
I'm not what most folks would call a car guy, but this? this is just sorcery man, just beautiful.
I agree! Thanks for watching
I owned 2 1967 P1800S when I was a starving college student. I loved the cars, ever comfortable and reliable.
Beautiful car, well made video. Hope to see more like this!
A keeper. I like how you removed the bumpers and added wide tires. Very cool.
making a piece of art of something which is in bad condition is the best way to preserving cars. i love it. i will do the same with my old hated car.
I read all of the Saint novels by Leslie Charteris. They started in 1928 with “Meet The Tiget” I’d ride my bike to used book stores to look for them.. I grew up watching Roger Moore in The Saint. My Stepmother owned a 1973 P188 when she married my dad. I’ve loved them since. I WANT this car.

Badass 1800 S!
Always loved the look of that car ever since I saw one in the '60s as a kid. You've done it justice.

A breathtaking example of perhaps the most beautiful Volvo ever produced. I love the 1800's and I have to thank you for saving one.
I like"The Sinner" logo design ! It's a very "reminiscent"version of "The Saint" logo.
This car is perfect , fantastic, you did a great job on resto, wish I had one, 65 the best year for Volvo, so cool , Steve
damn, I was expecting this vid to have hundreds of thousands of views. fantastic content and production quality!
Seconded!
I am impressed with narration, differing lens elevations, switching stills to motion to spokes-model... impressed.
I used to watch reruns of the The Saint with my dad and I remembered the car and instantly made the connection to the original show. Bravo on The Sinner!
Great story, eloquently told and videographed. As for "anybody can do it," that's a stretch. You have a special gift.
That car is cracy clean
Absolutely gorgeous. Love the quilting under the hood and general restomod take, not to mention the Saint/Sinner theming. Too cool.

That car could come with the same motor as the 1800S . My cousin had one and it went like a bat outta hell. Even tho it looked like a grampa car...
