Volvo: 15 million cars and counting!

February 21, 2008

Probably the best-known of all Volvo models is the P1800 sports coupe that was built during the 1960s.

It was the car that Roger Moore drove in the popular television series The Saint.

Also, Irv Gordon's red P1800 from 1966 is in the Guinness Book of Records as the car that has covered a higher mileage than any other car on the planet.

In 2002 his car's odometer rolled past 2,000,000 miles (3,218,000 km) and in 2012 Irv expects to be doing the three million mile (4,827,000 km) service on his trusty car. Beat that if you can.

However, the best-selling Volvo model ever is the classic 200 Series. Between 1974 and 1993, no less than 2,862,573 were built.
