Photo Gallery - Complete Interior Restoration: "The Saint" TV series car

Project: Jensen Volvo 1800 Restoration (used in the 1960’s TV series “The Saint”)

Status: Work in progress

The Volvo 1800 in this restoration is one of the cars used in the 1960’s TV series “The Saint” starring Roger Moore.

The car itself sat for many years in a field, and as a result the vehicle condition was extremely poor. It's evident from the various elements' photographs - the condition of the interior requires a complete restoration, and the exterior of the car is no better.

The scope of our work included extensive repairs and replacement of the interior to a condition similar to its original state when the vehicle was delivered to Pinewood studios by the Volvo concessionaires. The car is an early Jensen built version and the interior is considerably different from the later cars.
