Spotted this one - expect it'll sell well. Not quite fully original but a good 'un.

Whats that going on underneath? The plates don't appear to be fitted right thus leaving massive holes for water ingress. It's either one massive bodge or my eyesight is seeing things...and it won't be the first time :shock: The inner sides of the boot look like an exercise on how not to apply filler especially around the dampers. The card underneath the drivers side dash looks almost destroyed and the sport/MC front mat looks to be missing as the ribbed rubber mat is not original. The car looks like it has been tarted up for a quick sale...and not very well done either but I will admit that, at a quick glance, she looks nice. I've seen better....far better. Buyer Beware! :argh:
footnote: The car does not have the freewheel selected...wonder why not? true, it doesn't need it with the oil tank/pump but again...Beware (if I was you).

Wasn't planning to bid on it! Just watching ...... out of some form of morbid interest in acquiring (eventually) yet another Saab. No room at the inn, though!!

Final price was £21,750. Wow! Mind you, I met a chap at Saabfest with a 1964 850GT - both UK-owned imports were there - he's asking in excess of £30k for it. Absolutely stunning but I don't think I can go to that!
