Just bought this, best Mk3 in the country!
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C436563

It's a known car, owned by a SAAB specialist mechanic, I know the owner well, he's really choked in having to sell - shame he sold it through a dealer, but It's the right price with a haggle - a VERY rare car in top nick. 70's styling eh! Shocked

WOW. Never seen one of those before. Very modern styling from 1973. Me likey. But then I have had a Fiat 124 sport Coupe and a Lancia Fulvia coupe from that era so am probably bias.

Geez, I've never even heard of one of them. But for sure, it looks to be in lovely original condition.
Cheers, Pickles.

Yeah it's not your usual MG and the rubber bumpers don't help - blimmen yanks again with the regulations Rolling Eyes

It was up against a Porsche 914, Karmann Gear and Opal GT of the time. Build quality was very good as expected, handling was the best BUT it was too expensive and quirky, the usual traits for SAAB. Very good motors though - proper SAABs I mean not GM's Sad

Nice to have something different Thumbs Up
