I have found some more info on the Saab Sport I picked up a few weeks back. The photos are from the 1000 Lakes Rally of 1966.

Rafu worked for the Finnish Saab… Continue reading Saab Sport a brief update

Wood Steering Wheel Repair
The restoration of the 1964 Saab Sport has to wait for a while but I couldn’t help fixing the wood steering wheel. I really wanted to hang it on my living room wall but it had to be restored and polished before that. Here’s some photos of what I did:
Saab 96 Sport 1964

IntSaab2012 road trip – Spa, Belgium
We have arrived in Spa, Belgium! The drive from Odense through Germany was pretty un-eventful. The only noteworthy event was when a pigeon hit the car on the motorway, did a somersault, and continued flying on its merry way. …and we did manage to see a few Saabs also! We did a little detour to… Continue reading IntSaab2012 road trip – Spa, Belgium

Vehoniemi is a small local museum but has a nice collection of vintage cars and motorbikes. They also have a store that sells toy cars. There’s… Continue reading Vehoniemi car museum
