Saab 96 T5 – sounds interesting enough. But at the Back? Now that looks like an interesting project. Unfortunately I don’t know a lot about it. But this guy is fitting a Saab NG900 engine and suspension in an old Saab 96 sprint car and making it mid engine. There’s …
It is becoming increasingly difficult to find new directional light lenses for the two-stroke bullnose Saabs. Or actually it seems almost impossible. And I need four of them for the Saab Sport – and a few spares wouldn’t hurt. I have a few lenses that are in more or less decent …
The International Saab Meeting 2016 will be held in Sweden. I will be there and have already registered. IntSaab seems as popular as ever as the registration remained open for a very short time – only a day or two – before the places filling up. Most of the action …

I bought some extra driving lights some years ago in a Saab meeting. They were basically in good condition – good reflectors, no bad rust, pretty nice chrome. So as I decided to mount them on the 96 Rally, they needed just a little fixing up. We also made a …
