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. The original owner and driver was Artturi Rafael Huhta (or “Rafu” Huhta as he was usually called). The co-driver is Bengt Lundqvist.

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

But I did have one really annoying problem… Continue reading A little luck goes a long way…
