1975 |
In James' own words... I bought the car from an old lady who had kept the car for 22-23 years in her
garage without using it. Before that she had driven it for about 5 years. She
bought it from a Saab dealership who had used it for less than a year as a demo
model. It's a 1975 25th anniversary model (no 32 of 300 produced says a sign on
the dash). Although it was a little rough looking from it's time in storage I
knew I was on to a good thing, with only 50k on the clock and body work in
excellent condition. Some welding underneath, new ss exhaust, brake hoses,
shoes and cylinders and a tune up and I now have a car that I love to use
everyday, it puts a smile on my face and gets so many comments from passers-by!
I am trying to keep it original, although I have just fitted electronic
ignition, everything else is as intended. Please note the hubcaps as I only
have three and I am hoping a fourth will turn up. At present I have a set of
the more common smaller types - Can anyone help?
