Rally Giants – Saab 96 & V4
I just finished reading Graham Robsons book “Rally Giants – Saab 96 & V4”. I wasn’t expecting too much of it, since it was only 128 pages and the price was surprisingly reasonable at Amazon.com.

The packaging looks nice and the model comes with… Continue reading Champion Rally Cars – Saab 96 V4
