Hey guys, post up some glamourous shouts of your 2 stroke V4 and other "really" old SAABS:

Here goes:

WOW!

WOW!

Thanks. "Sven" is pretty photogenic. Up close he has a lot of nicks cracks and warts but he is mostly all original so it's a cool little car. No plans to restore, but need to address the rockers..

Meet ' Camilla ' my 1962 Saab 96 Two stroke. The car is right hand drive and resides in Biggin Hill, Kent, England.
The car has an interesting history with the late Pat Moss Carlsson and was tyhe reserve rally car for the '62' East African Safari Rally in Nairobi. She wasn't used in the rally as noone nobbled the rally car but Pat drove between events in Nairobi doing Public Relations work (as Saab was very little known in Africa in 1962).

MWinks, looks like your Sonnett photo was taken at the Doylestown airport from the parking lot of East Coast Chevy Ol' 55!
Anyhow here's my '71 SAAB 95 at my house. Purchased new in 1971.

 

[Total nutcase]

This 2 stroke will eventually be glamorous! I really wish the Sonet was rear wheel drive. It just has the body style of a rwd car

Aston is in DELCO. The other end of the "Blue Route."

You know I probably could have read your info first! I am familiar with Aston, LOL my mom lives in Maris Grove and we grew up in Wilmington.
I just assumed you were local up here since you pegged that location so easily.
Next time I am down that way I will let you know.

If you're headed up here let me know!

So you should be aware of Sport Car Service and the Jacobsons.
I knew of the location as I have a 55 Chevy and got parts at East Coast Chevy.

 

[mwinks93]

My Sonett was stored at Bill's for 30 years. I got it out of there in 2019.
It was my uncle's. Maybe you know him - Steve Castorani?H e has had a lot of SAABs!
Also do you know Stefan Vapaa?

[wdssaab]

Stefan was a neighbor to my son-in law. SIL now has the MG that was in the background in my photo.
Here is a pre-covid youtube video link (if it works) on the 95 from a car show at the Classic Auto Mall in Morgantown.

Here are some photos of my recently purchased 1969 Sonett V4. I am now in the process of changing the fluids and doing some minor repairs to the heater system. The car has been in storage for 13 years.

 

[mwinks93]

Wow looks great!!!! Congrats!

The former owner owned 3 Sonetts and ice raced two. Here is an action photo of his last racer with a V6 Volvo installed.
