I have a '72 1800ES and a '67 Jaguar 420G as weekend fun cars. The ES is ALWAYS ready to go with no quirks or drama. The Jaguar is .... a Jaguar :(.

One thing to watch out for is a molested fuel injection systems. The system used is very reliable and was way ahead of it's time, but sometimes ham handed mechanics have botched the thing over the years. Worst of all is when someone thinks they are improving the car by putting a pair of Webers on it. Ugh, there are a lot of bad running Volvos with poorly done Weber conversions.
