The Volvo P1800 has been made famous over the years by two individuals - Sir Roger Moore and Irv Gordon.
Marketed as a touring car rather than a sports car, the P1800 became widely known when driven by British actor Sir Roger Moore in the television series The Saint which aired from 1962 to 1969.
In 1998, a Volvo P1800S owned by Irv Gordon (1940-2018) was certified as the highest mileage private vehicle driven by the original owner in non-commercial service - having exceeded 3.25 million miles as of his death in 2018.
