Continuing to show unique dedication to classic automobiles, Petrolicious has released a video showcasing John Patterson’s vintage Bertone-designed Volvo P1800. A former professor and cancer researcher, Patterson now lives on the remote Hawaiian island of Kauai, channeling all his passionate efforts as watchmaker for his company, Bathys Hawaii. A lot of consideration was taken when choosing the vehicle, as there are no vintage car mechanics or dealerships on the island. Parts must be shipped to Kauai and any maintenance has to be done by Patterson himself. Similar to the detailed functionality of his timepieces, the P1800, as described by his owner, is a “modest classic.” Enjoy the video above and for more information, visit Petrolicious.
