Further info:
The decidedly avant-garde styling of the P1800 was the work of Pelle Petterson under the tutelage of Pietro Frua, during the period his studio was effectively a subsidiary of Carrozzeria Ghia. Immortalised by the hit TV series The saint starring an emergent Roger Moore, the model sold well, with 39,407 Coupes and 8,077 Estates produced between 1961 and 1973. This largely very original righthand drive, matching numbers 1800 S Coupe was manufactured in 1969 and has been in its current ownership since 2006, and covered 132,000 miles in the hands of eight owners. It has recently benefited from a bodywork restoration and is now regarded by the vendor as having `very good' bodywork, Red paintwork and Black vinyl interior trim, and `good' 1986cc engine and overdrive manual transmission. `VGX 830G' is now being made available complete with Webasto sunroof, some previous paperwork, and an MOT valid to February 1 next year.
