Good luck putting it back together. Must have been a heavy impact if the chassis needs straightening.

was about to have a first lesson in instructing by Roberto Giordinelli who wrote for Auto Italia I think. Little did I know Croft was booked by the Ford RS owners club too that day. Spent 3 hours dodging RS Turbo's while a Cosworth Sierra was usually inches from the Murcie's rear bumper. In the end bottled it and went home. Said it before but again, thanks for the comments. Be happy to post up pics of it being fixed. Was it someone on here who said its new nickname should be Triggers Broom?

I think there may have been a sneaky edit in there as the URL reads 'owner crashed'

Good lord some of those comments on Jalopnik are moronic! "If it was a Saab running synthetic oil it would be on the original engine". Possibly true, equally, if it was six inches long and made of ground pork it would be a sausage!
Fingers crossed we see her again.
Agreed. Plus lots of people would be queuing up to drive a Saab around a track eh! Fingers crossed we see her again.
always make me think of triggers broom (apologies to anyone who has mentioned this before..)

I nearly spat my tea out when I read that. Anyway chassis straightened now, will be picking it up from Chartwells once we've got some space. Good people there. Very impressed.

Superb news to end the week! Looking forward to seeing SG54 back in action.How about arranging a PH meet for its first post-resurrection run? There would be many of us willing to cheer the old warhorse back into life!
