You'd have pretty much the only ES on this board. Dave Major in Lethbridge (rojam on this board) has an ES. There are a few 1800's and a bunch of us has 122's of various descriptions. Welcome.

Was this the car that was in Lethbridge, then in Medicine Hat for a while for sale?

I got the car in Lethbridge. I know nothing about it being offered in Medicine Hat.
The interior is black leather/vinyl and brown carpet (442-817).
A few 'age spots', but otherwise almost complete.

Ah yes, that is the one. That used to be parked a few blocks from my house....its been for sale for quite some time. The owner was the same guy who owned Craig's 122 I believe.

Yes, the same guy. I've looked that car over from tip to tail and it was pretty sweet at the time (that was 4 years ago) - such a shame he didn't drive it very often.

Hope you are enjoying the restoration process.
Once I get mine back on the road, I'll contact you to see if we can meet up sometime.
There are a few of us 1800 owners in the VSCCC and more are welcome.
Cheers!

Congrats on the new ES !

If you have any spare time you should check out my website www.volvosolutions.com. There's some good info on there about 1800s and I sell some interesting stuff for them as well.
