SUMMARY
Charismatic and quirky, this right-hand drive, older restoration, Vernona Green 96 V4 remains in very good condition and is ready for those Sunday shows.
DESCRIPTION
- Renowned for its success on the rally stage, piloted by the likes of Stig Blomqvist and Erik Carlsson, the Saab 96 was anything but conventional
- Originally a three-cylinder, two-stroke, however by 1967 they were becoming rather dated and Saab introduced the 96 powered by the 60bhp, 1498cc, four-stroke, V4 engine originally developed for the Taunus 15M
- The model remained in production until 1980 and this example, dating from 1972, has been in current ownership since 2016
- Finished in Verona Green, it was restored in the 1990s but has been dry stored whilst with our vendor
- Presumably it has been well cared-for since its restoration as the paintwork looks excellent, retaining a deep shine, and the interior remains fresh
- Beautifully put together and cleverly engineered, a Saab 96 is an interesting and practical classic and this cared-for example, in delightful Verona Green, is worthy of your inspection.
