 I have just discovered another 10-car set by Matchbox featuring a Volvo. This set is labeled 'Showroom Models' and has been released in January 2010. This set comes with a medium blue painted Volvo P1800. The set features nine regular cars and as bonus an exclusive vehicle which is a yellow Chevy Camaro SS-396. These 3'' models have been made in Thailand. A good source for anything regarding the Volvo P1800 by Matchbox is this Wiki page.
Corgi has offered many different gift sets. A very few featured Volvo models. Here is in fact the second set I have found so far with a Volvo P1800. The Corgi gift set # 20 contains a Scammell Handyman tri-deck car transporter and six different cars. All the cars have Whizzwheels. The truck is painted in a nice blue over white over orange color scheme. Every wheel of the truck and the trailer have detailed cast hubs. The gift set includes a Scammell Cab car transporter and the following six cars :

This Volvo P1800 is made of white metal and was sold by the company Modelauto Replica under item number 101. I already knew that this model existed but it is the first time that I was able to get a pair of good pictures of this model. It seems that the model is a copy of the model by Tekno.

The Japanese company Marusan has produced in the past various Volvo H0 slotcar models. In the USA and Japan slotcars in 1:64 scale are referred as H0 scale. This often confuses people in Europe. The ones I was able to find are : Volvo PV544 - colors: blue, turquoise             Both models have been sold for ± 900 € ( 1100 $ ) Marusan is one of the very few old Japanese companies that still exist today.
