10:33 He knows that this car will speak well for itself and tells Jay (a couple of times), 'You will have your answer when you drive it'. Wish I could drive it!! 😉
@@thomasrudy6132 This cannot really be compared to a normal porsche. its more of a Luxury retro super sports car with a rollcage and engine out of a S60 Race car. everything about this car is insane if you watch how this is made. you do not buy something like this becasue you might want it, you buy it becasue you definitly want it. if you just want something fast then you have you'r run of the mill 100 grand porsche but this on the other hand is pretty much up there with the Ferrari F40
I'm 76 this month, so back in my day, this was a neat-looking Volvo when I was young. Thanks for featuring it on your show. I enjoy listening to all the technical details.
Sweden has the highest concentration of American classics outside the USA. Swedes love tickering in the garage with vehicles, bikes, boats, tractors...In the town where I live, I've seen a Ford RS 1600 Twin-Cam in Blue with Yellow stripes which is remindful of this beautiful P1800. One of my ex-work colleagues used to rave about the Volvo 240 "Only need a coil of wire and some pliers, you fix anything, good car the Volvo!". Great work Mr Bååth and the Cyan team, bra jobb!
Man, oh man. This car is absolutely stunning. I love the way the shifter clicks, the waste gate noise is intoxicating, and it just looks like a rolling piece of art. Bravo to the team at Cyan!
I agree completely, what a beautiful piece of work. I wish JL would put out detailed multi shots (body interior- engine bay-trunk) of his show into a book set. He's got an eclectic collection and I'd love to read up and drool at everything at my own pace.
Gotta love the Aussie Hollinger Engineering gearbox. They have been making world class racing transmissions for many years and are in lots of things you wouldn't expect.
I absolutely love this show, this is Jay Leno at his finest. Every part of that Volvo is perfect, the grill, the chrome strips, the fuel cap and tank, the engine sounds fantastic, it's stance and custom wheels are exquisite.
Jay is right, the right "stance" makes the car. The stance on this car is perfect! The wheels fill out the wheel wells, and lowered just enough to look aggressive without being undrivable. A car you can actually drive over a railroad crossing! Nice job Cyan!
Except for the fact he won’t let his guest finish a sentence or truly explain the car because he goes on his tangents. Jay is great but this show needs a director.
I always loved the P1800; ever since I was a young boy, watching Roger Moore as The Saint, driving his beautiful white one. It looked so futuristic and sporty back in the 1960's. This modern replica, looks absolutely fantastic. Thank you.
I agree and I remember on Saturday afternoons watching episodes of "The Saint" and marveling that a stogy boring and super anal on safety carmaker like Volvo could make a super cool sports car like the P1800 that an English super cool PI such as Simon Templar would choose this as his mount versus a Jag E-Type.. Btw Roger Moore will always be Simon Templar to me than James Bond.
That's about the prettiest engine/engine compartment I've seen this century. Thanks for the long camera shots that allowed us to drool over that gorgeous body styling.
Speaking of music, as they started the rollout from the garage I heard the television show's theme music. For the youngsters, I speak of _'The Saint'_ starring Roger Moore.
@@markp44288 this has more Karmann DNA than Volvo from the hood back. Which is why it really sticks out. Timeless design is very rare. The nsx from the 90's still looks modern too.
@@jamespaul2587 yes, and that car is still around. Jay had it, and it’s current owner on his show…. It has cigarette burns on the dash, above the ashtray, “courtesy of Sir Roger”!
Used to work in a Dealer bodyshop days and had my own paint shop where I worked nights.(1977) Restored and painted an orange P1800 wagon, had a sporty exhaust, upgraded tires, just a beautiful car. One of the few I would loved to keep,.. everything was just right. Owner let me take it for a spin, (with him in the passenger seat), was a great experience that I never forgot!!
Fell in love with this car as an eleven year old in 1964. Relatives from Connecticut would come up and stay with my grandparents for the summer. They had the wagon version. When you think back to 64 in a small New Hampshire town, I had never seen ANYTHING like that. I think we had a 59 Rambler American Cross Country wagon. To see that Volvo, it was just so gorgeous. Still is. Thanks for taking me back to that time!
Maybe the most beautiful car ever in my opinion! This build might just be the cleanest looking one I've seen. Just look at the engine bay. Not a single detail on this car is overlooked. Stunning! ♥
I agree with Jay so much about so much, and have for decades, since I was twelve. There's something undeniably beautiful and universal about the best of these older ideas that just plain worked, perfectly. Just gorgeous...
MY FAV! Had a roommate in late 70's that was from a Volvo/MG family (not common) - his red P1800 and White 1800ES are fond memories. So simple. So dependable. This car? The stance is damn perfect! The Saint would be envious - even with all that patience!
Very tasteful modern upgrade, absolutely drop dead gorgeous and what I would call a dream car, always has been but this makes it even more so. Congratulations to Cyan and its owner for what they accomplished here!

Instead--because the host appears to have ADD: he can't stop talking, can't stay on track, can't help repeating himself, can't let a guest finish a sentence--it's an uneven automobile show with moments of greatness counterbalanced by tedious patches of Leno brain-mush.

Thank you so much, Jay, for bringing this to all of us. It really is a beautiful legacy. I am so grateful...
So well done and such a beautiful engine compartment. Thanks for showing more details this time around too when talking about the engine, but why no shots of the interior?
The easiest job in the world. Make a replicar as expensive as you wish - No expense spared - and you will ALWAYS find someone stupid enough to buy it. Automobiles ! I wonder what the next global "fad" will be once these gas guzzlers disappear from the roads because I would like to start a business Cars are NOT for me.
I listened to all her noises, as a musician and mechanic, she sounds beautiful! Very tight quality in the build. Needless to say the doors, lid, and trunk sound first rate as did all the music when you drove it. Mercy, what a car!!! Mikel
My favorite car ever was my P1800S. In the Army in Germany. 1969-71. 120 down the autobahn all the way from Frankfurt to Munich. Stick shift w/overdrive. Inline 4 with twin carbs. All just stock.
When Jay fired up the CYAN in the garage, it rumbled so nice on my system, which has a Sub Woofer, I really felt it in my chest. Very satisfying. And the road test was a lot of fun to watch, and listen to. Jay really seemed to be enjoying himself. And that's what it's all about. And the blue color matches the car name very well.
I remember thinking I was bad a$$ when I put 15” x 8” OEM corvette rally rims on my ‘67 Cameo 327ci convertible with fake bumblebee stripe an SS emblems. With radial T/A 60’s all the way around it stuck like glue and was fun to drive. I would love to get that back. Drove Volvos for 25 years & would live a stock 0 1800es.🙂
This tendency for the "modern" cars to go to lower and lower aspect ratios is just stupid on real world street cars. The taller the rims are that usually indicates lower and lower aspect ratios. I don't know when "Old School" kicks in but I have a 2001 BMW 330xi that came with 45 series tires on 17" rims. On decent pavement, they handle well. Unfortunately, the real world these days doesn't run on decent pavement! In the last 7-8 years with this car (I've had it for 11 years) I've replaced two rims and two tires due to unavoidable pot holes. The roads are pitifully maintained and we keep hearing that this "new bond issue" is to fix the roads. Politely, that is a load of "creative fertilizer!!" When I see a hot new car on the street with 25 or 35 series tires, I just wonder where this guy thinks he can get out of town and actually drive that thing? Track day... that's the best answer, track day!! 🤔😒
I hate it when people put big wheels on classic cars. It's so distasteful. Looks really out of place. Even on this P1800. It's a tad too big. 17 inches wheels or even 16 would look better.
Hans, you are one of the best guests at JLG! You and your team put a lot of love in this excellent automobile. Congratulations with this outstanding result. I pass your head office & manufacturing facility in Mölndal several times a week, at my jogging round, always wondering what’s going on there at Cyan, now I know more!
@@hueyiroquois3839 The original car was a nice car with a lot of style but no go ... novel, imo. Perhaps, if as the engineer told Jay you look at this version parked next to the original you will notice how different they look and yet still resemble each other. ruclips.net/video/gzg0kx_g-vo/видео.html
Yeah it was kind of funny even though I think he meant that money CAN ruin things if people lose sight of what's best for the project. Like he said, put en engine too big with too much horsepower, etc.
Two people in my neighborhood growing up had those Volvos. I was always staring at them when they were cruising by. I fell in love with the car when I was a kid.
Such a beautiful car, always loved the design but Cyan Racing absolutely hit it out of the park with a great stance and more than adequate drive train!
Being of a certain age, this Volvo ticks all the boxes. I was a gear-head kid in the 60s when these cars were current, and I loved them. My family owned a PV544 when I was little, and a 245DL later, so I’ve always had a soft spot for Volvos.
One reason I love my 93 ZR-1. Just enough horsepower with a few mods and the road feedback is great. Driver focused cockpit, and a harness seatbelt system makes me feel like I'm in a fighter jet for the road. Don't need 1000hp to enjoy it.
Flip that oil filter to it’s side( kit to do it). ZR-1’s filters use to drain back into the pan, when shut off. Bearing stop, didn’t really work. Bad filter design. Every time you started it, your refilling that filter, hence running engine dry.
Comedian, automotive historian, classic car mechanic and worldwide philanthropist, Jay Leno is the man! I’d pay a king’s ransom to tour his car collection. Thanks Jay for all that you do.
It's easy to see that Jay is having a great time driving the P1800. Cyan did a great job preserving the original P1800's best qualities while resolving its weak points. Fun video to watch. Thanks Jay!
This quest was fantastic, Jay found a great car with a great guest that really knows how to talk about this subject. A great car and even better conversation!
Love the "snick" of the gearbox. So good to hear that horsepower is not the end all and be all. As a past owner of two.miatas, fun is more important than power.
Thank you Jay great video, this brought back so many memories for me, I worked for Volvo in Canada in the late 80's at a dealership in Winnipeg who had the franchise since the early 60's , in 1988 we got to 1800's 1 P1800 and 1 P 1800ES both fuel injected and both 130 hp from factory, great driving cars, the 2 door was 3100lbs and the ES was 3300lbs , it was right on the I.D. Plate when you opened the drivers door , the P1800ES was owned by a photographer who worked for the local newspaper, and we were selling it on consignment for him it was that Volvo light blue with black leather interior and was in original immaculate shape , never winter driven and serviced by Volvo mechanics only, he was asking $10,000.00 for it and was worth every dollar and i had the pleasure of driving it several weekends that summer and was lucky enough to sell it in early September in 1988 for him for $9500 which was a good value for a car only having just over 41,000 miles and this photographer is the reason i got into photography as a hobby right to this day , thank you for the great memories and an awesome 1964 Volvo Cyan ❤
Thanks Jay & guest. For me this is one of your best ever clips. The car is such a classic and has been upgraded so well and is so usable. I think Jay really enjoys driving it. The Volvo guy was a great knowledgeable passionate guest and easy to listen to.
Jay I know you read these comments sometimes! Thank you so much for these videos. We love the huge variety of cars and the quirky characters who bring them to your garage. This car, in particular, is flippin sweet! I love it.
Volvos have always been preferred by hot rodders here in Sweden. Plentiful and cheap. I got a 1964 Amazon, looks like crap but mechanical sound. Lot of fun to drive and always makes me feel 18 again.
What a beautiful bodied car, just love the stance, haunches, colour and stripe over the roof and stops short down the hood. It is a modern classic, well done.
What a simply GORGEOUS car! I've loved that body style since I was a young lad and can truly appreciate the improvements that were made. Wish I could afford one!
P1800 is one of my favorite cars. I fell in love watching the Saint. The 1800 with dual SUs was bullet proof I had a 144S that had that engine and put 100000 miles with only replacing the water pump and clutch. Beautiful car wish I could afford one.
That's also my favorite Volvo. Some years ago, there was a green one on BaT. It was located in SoCal, where I lived then, but originally purchased from Volvo Village in the Boston area, where I'm from and live now. I also used to know the family who owned this dealership. Anyway, as I recall, the buyer was a Swede who had it shipped back to Sweden. So that was cool to see.
My first car was a used 5 year old 1960 Volvo , a 4 door 122s. As a young man, of course the P1800 was my heart throb! I still think they are very attractive! :)

If impersonating others or none of the above is selected, supply OP's channel link, add a unique note so the bot reads your note as genuine.
I love it. I also love the color. The Volvo R models brought a similar one 10-15 years ago with them and it simply looked perfect. It's the "if I can choose the car color that's the color I'm going with". Distinctive, neat, fun.
This car is classy, graceful, elegant, cool and stunningly beautiful. Compliments to Cyan for building and sharing it. Plus a big thank you to Mr.Leno for creating this video !
This is as desirable as a car can get. Pure jewelery! great to see such projects can fly nowadays. Talented people needed for such an achievment, for sure.
I can remember these being available for a few hundred dollars back in the 80’s. Wish I had bought a couple, they are a great platform for restomoding. Beautiful lines and great stance. This one is really nice.

And the road test was a lot of fun to watch, and listen to. Jay really seemed to be enjoying himself. And that's what it's all about. And the blue color matches the car name very well.
Jay Leno labelling 18" wheels as "old school" has impacted me greatly and I'm still processing it. Damn I'm old now!
All of my cars have 17s and smaller. I went down from tye stock 18s
Yeah the wheels are so wrong
I remember thinking I was bad a$$ when I put 15” x 8” OEM corvette rally rims on my ‘67 Cameo 327ci convertible with fake bumblebee stripe an SS emblems. With radial T/A 60’s all the way around it stuck like glue and was fun to drive. I would love to get that back. Drove Volvos for 25 years & would live a stock 0 1800es.🙂
This tendency for the "modern" cars to go to lower and lower aspect ratios is just stupid on real world street cars. The taller the rims are that usually indicates lower and lower aspect ratios. I don't know when "Old School" kicks in but I have a 2001 BMW 330xi that came with 45 series tires on 17" rims. On decent pavement, they handle well. Unfortunately, the real world these days doesn't run on decent pavement! In the last 7-8 years with this car (I've had it for 11 years) I've replaced two rims and two tires due to unavoidable pot holes. The roads are pitifully maintained and we keep hearing that this "new bond issue" is to fix the roads. Politely, that is a load of "creative fertilizer!!"
When I see a hot new car on the street with 25 or 35 series tires, I just wonder where this guy thinks he can get out of town and actually drive that thing? Track day... that's the best answer, track day!! 🤔😒
I hate it when people put big wheels on classic cars. It's so distasteful. Looks really out of place.
Even on this P1800. It's a tad too big. 17 inches wheels or even 16 would look better.
Hans, you are one of the best guests at JLG! You and your team put a lot of love in this excellent automobile. Congratulations with this outstanding result. I pass your head office & manufacturing facility in Mölndal several times a week, at my jogging round, always wondering what’s going on there at Cyan, now I know more!
Would someone tell Jay this isn't even close to the original Volvo. Jay Leno, hot rod advertiser.
The wheels are HIDEOUS
@@NormAppleton I thought they were pretty damned good! They sure fit right.
@@NormAppleton The wheels look great to me? Must be a subjective thing?
I so wished I could afford a P 1800 back I the day. Absolutely a beautiful classic made even better.
This has always been one of my favorite cars. So nice to see one that is done to such a high level of craftsmanship.
I really love retromods, especially ones that take a novel car and make it sensational. That is a masterpiece.

1964 isn't exactly novel.
@@hueyiroquois3839 The original car was a nice car with a lot of style but no go ... novel, imo. Perhaps, if as the engineer told Jay you look at this version parked next to the original you will notice how different they look and yet still resemble each other.

I love how Jay Leno says "Money ruins stuff" as they stand over a million dollar car. 9:36
Yeah it was kind of funny even though I think he meant that money CAN ruin things if people lose sight of what's best for the project. Like he said, put en engine too big with too much horsepower, etc.
Is this car really a million dollars?
$700,000
BiG Applause and Salutation to every one who participates and contributes to making of such uniquie driving machine!
Two people in my neighborhood growing up had those Volvos. I was always staring at them when they were cruising by. I fell in love with the car when I was a kid.
Such a beautiful car, always loved the design but Cyan Racing absolutely hit it out of the park with a great stance and more than adequate drive train!
Being of a certain age, this Volvo ticks all the boxes. I was a gear-head kid in the 60s when these cars were current, and I loved them. My family owned a PV544 when I was little, and a 245DL later, so I’ve always had a soft spot for Volvos.
One reason I love my 93 ZR-1. Just enough horsepower with a few mods and the road feedback is great. Driver focused cockpit, and a harness seatbelt system makes me feel like I'm in a fighter jet for the road. Don't need 1000hp to enjoy it.
Flip that oil filter to it’s side( kit to do it).
ZR-1’s filters use to drain back into the pan, when shut off.
Bearing stop, didn’t really work.
Bad filter design.
Every time you started it, your refilling that filter, hence running engine dry.
Comedian, automotive historian, classic car mechanic and worldwide philanthropist, Jay Leno is the man! I’d pay a king’s ransom to tour his car collection. Thanks Jay for all that you do.
What a beautiful ride. It has it all.
The new look, the stance, and the sound.
It's easy to see that Jay is having a great time driving the P1800. Cyan did a great job preserving the original P1800's best qualities while resolving its weak points. Fun video to watch. Thanks Jay!
Plain and simple, this car is a work of art.
One of my all time Volvo favorites . Love the color too.
Is that Rebel Blue that they save for the polestar models or something close to it?
Finally someone did this beautiful design it's full and appreciated justice.
This is one of the cars where all you can say is... Automotive perfection
Jävlar vilken fin Volvo !
Bra jobbat
Now that's resto-modding perfection. What a beautiful car!
This quest was fantastic, Jay found a great car with a great guest that really knows how to talk about this subject. A great car and even better conversation!
Love the "snick" of the gearbox. So good to hear that horsepower is not the end all and be all. As a past owner of two.miatas, fun is more important than power.
That car is an icon of beauty.... Awesome... Fantastic design...
Thank you Jay great video, this brought back so many memories for me, I worked for Volvo in Canada in the late 80's at a dealership in Winnipeg who had the franchise since the early 60's , in 1988 we got to 1800's 1 P1800 and 1 P 1800ES both fuel injected and both 130 hp from factory, great driving cars, the 2 door was 3100lbs and the ES was 3300lbs , it was right on the I.D. Plate when you opened the drivers door , the P1800ES was owned by a photographer who worked for the local newspaper, and we were selling it on consignment for him it was that Volvo light blue with black leather interior and was in original immaculate shape , never winter driven and serviced by Volvo mechanics only, he was asking $10,000.00 for it and was worth every dollar and i had the pleasure of driving it several weekends that summer and was lucky enough to sell it in early September in 1988 for him for $9500 which was a good value for a car only having just over 41,000 miles and this photographer is the reason i got into photography as a hobby right to this day , thank you for the great memories and an awesome 1964 Volvo Cyan ❤
Thanks Jay & guest. For me this is one of your best ever clips. The car is such a classic and has been upgraded so well and is so usable. I think Jay really enjoys driving it. The Volvo guy was a great knowledgeable passionate guest and easy to listen to.
So many beautiful cars came out of the 60’s, good lord.
Had a '63 stock P1800. Loved it! Back when the chrome trim followed the line in the door. The car of the Saint!
Jay I know you read these comments sometimes! Thank you so much for these videos. We love the huge variety of cars and the quirky characters who bring them to your garage. This car, in particular, is flippin sweet! I love it.
You lucky to be selected among the shortlist winner…
Volvos have always been preferred by hot rodders here in Sweden. Plentiful and cheap. I got a 1964 Amazon, looks like crap but mechanical sound. Lot of fun to drive and always makes me feel 18 again.
I put over 500,000 miles on a 67 Amazon.
Luckily not many P1800 were ever modded though, too rare.
I hear you there buddy, I've got a P1800 es & a 242 coupe with a Lexus LS 400 engine with a supercharger kit on it, it's my super sleeper, Rj in Oz
They never made that many P1800S cars. I think total production was only about 56,000 in all the years they were made.
@@1pcfred Glad I was able to snag one. I carpooled with a guy in college who had one, and I loved his so much I bought it off him;-)
What a beautiful bodied car, just love the stance, haunches, colour and stripe over the roof and stops short down the hood. It is a modern classic, well done.
What a simply GORGEOUS car! I've loved that body style since I was a young lad and can truly appreciate the improvements that were made. Wish I could afford one!
That Is A Badass Volvo...
Very Well Done.!!
GREAT VIDEO.!!
P1800 is one of my favorite cars. I fell in love watching the Saint. The 1800 with dual SUs was bullet proof I had a 144S that had that engine and put 100000 miles with only replacing the water pump and clutch. Beautiful car wish I could afford one.
The 'sport wagon' version of this, with the glass lift-hatch at the rear - fun sports car that could also carry your golf clubs! XLNT and fun design.
That's also my favorite Volvo. Some years ago, there was a green one on BaT. It was located in SoCal, where I lived then, but originally purchased from Volvo Village in the Boston area, where I'm from and live now. I also used to know the family who owned this dealership. Anyway, as I recall, the buyer was a Swede who had it shipped back to Sweden. So that was cool to see.
I still see a mint red one up here in North Cali once a week.Whoever owns it,you're a legend for not making it a garage queen.
My first car was a used 5 year old 1960 Volvo , a 4 door 122s. As a young man, of course the P1800 was my heart throb! I still think they are very attractive! :)
Gorgeous car! Would like to have seen the interior and dashboard. A modern classic!
He's like a proud papa watching his son hit a home run, he knew he built a good product and hearing Jay glow about it gives him abundant edification.

I love it. I also love the color. The Volvo R models brought a similar one 10-15 years ago with them and it simply looked perfect. It's the "if I can choose the car color that's the color I'm going with". Distinctive, neat, fun.
Early 70’s friends found, and introduced me, these beautiful cars. The old fastback etc, and of course the ES. Just wonderful cars. This intrigues me
Has to be one of the most beautifully artistic car designs ever. Looks like super fun to drive on a Cali canyon rip.
You would take it to Colombia?
This car is classy, graceful, elegant, cool and stunningly beautiful. Compliments to Cyan for building and sharing it. Plus a big thank you to Mr.Leno for creating this video !
One of the most beautiful cars ever made.Its beautifully crafted
One of the best cars you have ever shown us. That oil pan looks scary close to the ground.
Beautifully built and engineered! Best looking Volvo I’ve ever seen too 👏
I actually seen one of these in white near my house parked up.
it was so random but a nice feeling knowing I got to see a real one😎
Always one of my favorite Volvos. 'Love the snick-snick of the shifter!
That is an awesome looking car. I wish car manufacturers would come out with stuff like this. Lightweight, vintage, simple.
Lovely design, one to rated high of all time greats I think. There's a real beauty in my neighborhood.
Right on! Had the P1800ES when I was young. Wish I had it now. This one is amazing. I love all the thought that went into this beautiful design.
I love these, they have a real classic look
Wow the shape of this car is amazing. If I had the money, I'd buy in a heartbeat
Absolutely LOVE this one. Brilliantly designed...sharp....and handsome. Enough usable power and speed.
Great episode. Great video.
This is as desirable as a car can get. Pure jewelery! great to see such projects can fly nowadays. Talented people needed for such an achievment, for sure.
Can I see someone really enjoying himself in that car? Pure smile J.L...
I can remember these being available for a few hundred dollars back in the 80’s. Wish I had bought a couple, they are a great platform for restomoding. Beautiful lines and great stance. This one is really nice.
I’m so disappointed I didn’t have the vision for future value of pretty much …anything.
@@johnjenkins6328 I did alright with stocks and real estate but they’re not nearly as cool as vintage cars.
