02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionproduced | 8,0781,2 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Volvo presented the 1800ES in autumn 1971, with a newly designed rear end over the same technology as the other 1800s. In 1972 both versions were built side by side, but only the ES was made in 1973. Production ended in 1973, because the increasingly rigorous safety requirements in the USA would have been too expensive to meet.
