Good call, wheels and wing mounted filler fit with a Saab.

I was going to say Saab as well. My mum had one back in the late '70's - a 2 door 99 in that colour.

It was stolen in the early 1980's.

If you can find a number plate WUC (something) N that's what it is!

I don't think we want it back. smile

Where did you find it?

Definitely a Saab 96. The inner front wings and shape of the rear window confirm it on top of the clues already mentioned. I had two of them many years ago, I sold the second one in about 1993, but it has recently turned up in Ireland and is being restored, so it will continue to live on smile I don't think that one will yield many parts to get my old one back on the road though wink

I could't have identified that ever! However I am very impressed that you managed to post the photo in the correct orientation.
How did you do that?

Thanks for the replies guys....I thought it was something unusual given the 5 stud wheel and the body shape. The number plates were removed as far as I can see…
