Not if you're a SAAB enthusiast, it isn't. They stopped in 1993 when the GM influence took over.
Doesn't mean this isn't a fab car, and Per Eklund is a proper legend. But a proper SAAB? No.
You’re quite right !Doesn't mean this isn't a fab car, and Per Eklund is a proper legend. But a proper SAAB? No.
This was the first of my 5 pre-GM Saabs. I was living in Notting Hill Gate and needed a sensible family car - so a straight private deal swap (in the forecourt of a petrol station on Queensway) took me from a Sunbeam Lotus into this. Culture shock - for the first week I thought “what have I done” but then grew to love it..

A US photographer, Scottie Cameron, published a series of photo-shopped images depicting “The Year 2084.” An ode to George Orwell’s 1984 apparently, “but a bit more optimistic.”
Vehicle scene below - car styling doesn't appear to have moved on much, but tyre noise is clearly a thing of the past
I won't be around to see it but great to know that the TR6 and the Saab 900 will be back in production...Vehicle scene below - car styling doesn't appear to have moved on much, but tyre noise is clearly a thing of the past
Happy Easter everyone.
Another one of Europe’s greatest driving roads. Twixt Switzerland and Italy the Splugen pass. It rises to a maximum altitude of either 2113 or 2114 metres (depending on source)- we’ll take both.
It was a favourite of Mary Shelley who was a great road trip enthusiast.

Off on a tangent, but why not. It involves a personal hero of mine.
Another Allard J2, prepared by Sussex art teacher James Augustus Tiller, returned to Bonneville some half a century later.
The lightly modified car (ahem), managed a terminal speed of 165mph, crossing the timing line backwards after the execution of a perfect 540 deg. spin. Having gathered thoughts and underwear together Jim then ran a more conventional run and topped out at 197mph…
Respect.
