Description

1972 Saab 96 V4

First registered in April 1972, this Saab 96 V4 has been starting promptly and driving nicely on site. Fitted with some MK3 MR2 front seats, renovated during last year with all new braking system, replacement engine and lots of fabrication and welding, some invoices for this can be found in the history folder.

To be offered at Brightwells Classic Auction, bidding from 30th November.

The Saab 96 V4 was launched in 1960 with a longitudinally mounted 841cc three-cylinder two-stroke engine. These engines were simple and reliable, but they did produce more emissions than a four-stroke engine. Saab faced increasing pressure to replace the two-stroke engines as the cars progressed, and a more modern and environmentally friendly alternative made its way into the 96 in 1967 with the addition of a 1498cc V4 engine, which produced 65bhp.

Like its predecessors, the Saab 96 was front-wheel drive, making it very suitable in the harsh Scandinavian winters. This also helped in its successful rallying career throughout the '60s and '70s, achieving numerous victories worldwide and gaining an excellent reputation for durability and performance.

The 96 also came with excellent safety features, including a sturdy body structure and advanced seatbelts. With a well-engineered chassis and mechanics, it was the unique styling which made the 96 so popular amongst the hearts of the Saab enthusiasts.

Thanks for looking.
