We’ll be showcasing five stunning Volvo convertibles that perfectly capture the evolution of open-top motoring across the decades.

Leading the line-up is a 1957 Volvo P1900, one of only 68 ever built and the rarest production Volvo model. This fibreglass-bodied two-seater is believed to have originally been registered in California to none other than Johnny Weissmuller – better known as Tarzan in the classic films. It’s the only P1900 currently residing in the UK, and the first to ever be owned and registered here. The last time a P1900 was displayed in the UK was many years ago, when Volvo Car Corporation loaned one from their museum.

Joining it on the stand will be a Volvo 1800S Convertible from the 1960s, followed by three versions of the Volvo C70 – the original soft-top model, plus two Mk2 hardtop convertibles, showcasing both the early and facelift designs.

Together, these five cars offer a fascinating “old meets new” comparison — from 1950s ingenuity to 2000s engineering excellence. Each was among the best of its time, and together they represent the best of both worlds in Volvo’s convertible legacy.
