Ivr currently has 2.8 million miles on his ride. He recently turned 70 years old. He hopes to make it to 3 million miles by his 73rd birthday. Do the math: he will have to drive a minimum of 180 miles each day, every day. Seems insane, but he’s already made it further than Volvo and anyone else would ever thought he would.

Back in 1966, Irv purchased the car brand new. He managed 1500 miles in just the first two days. In 1998, when reaching 1.69 million miles, Irv entered the Guinness Book of World Records and has been beating himself ever since.

We wish Irv and the classic Volvo P1800 the best of luck, we hope to be writing about his 3 millionth mile in 3 years, if not sooner.

Sweden’s ever-impressive Vizualtech based the basic styling features on the classic coupe with a twist…the front end is extended by 70mm to accommodate the proposed Volvo V8 engine from the XC90 and the S80. In its standard format the 4.4-litre V8 produces 315 horse power. The Vizualtech design goes on to illustrate something of a GT wagon with wider wheels arches, new front and rear lights, a rear diffuser and a flat underside.
