Description
The Saab Sonett has become a special and rare appearance. This beautiful two-seater sports car has a very unique design, which is partly due to the Italian designer Sergio Coggiola. This Sonett III was introduced in 1970 as a successor to the Sonett II. Production was eventually stopped in 1974.
This beautiful Saab Sonett III was produced in 1972 and therefore still has the smaller (and more beautiful) bumpers and the car is equipped with the 1698 cc V4 engine (from Ford). This car was originally delivered to California (various documents and original US Title are still present!) and in 1997 the car came to the Netherlands. Upon arrival, the car still had its original red color. During the thorough and complete restoration, the car was expertly resprayed in the beautiful color Monte Carlo Blu. There is also an extensive restoration report with photos available. During this restoration, the engine block was also completely overhauled.
This Saab Sonett III is still in exceptionally beautiful and beautiful condition. After the restoration, the car has been maintained with great care and love. This is not only visible in the sublime condition of the car, but also certainly noticeable while driving. The bodywork is in very good (almost new) condition, which is very special for a restoration of over 20 years old. The body parts fit together nicely and the doors open and close well and solidly. The various rubber parts and seals are also in very good condition. The original alloy wheels were repainted during the restoration and look particularly nice under this characteristic sports car.
The interior is also still in very good condition. During the restoration, the interior was completely reupholstered and the black leather upholstery forms a perfect combination with the sporty blue body color. The dashboard is still in very good condition and all instruments work properly. The sporty bucket seats are surprisingly comfortable. The various chrome and trim parts are also in very good condition.
Under the hood we see a very well-maintained engine compartment in exceptionally neat condition. And as it looks, so does the car sound. The 1698 cc V4 engine runs exceptionally smooth and quiet and has sufficient power to move the 830 kilo light Saab Sonett. The car steers smoothly and directly and the shifting is also very smooth. The brakes feel firm and solid. This beautiful Saab Sonett III is not only beautiful to look at, but also very nice to drive!
