SOUL Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 When I was down in Gran Canaria in Janurary this year, I came across this Saab still on Swedish plates!

stormee Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Were headlight wipers a legal requirement in Sweden in the '70s then?Yes. From 1972 - sometime in the 90s. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skizzer Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Skön! Top spots. I follow Car Spotting Sweden on Flickr, which makes it look as though Sweden is chod heaven, although it's probably as hard to find the really good stuff as anywhere else.

fordnut Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If you are in Malmo you need to visit the classic car sales pitch that is run by old boy and has high turnover of budget classics and restoration projects. It is chod heaven out there. I noticed that you photo'd my friends wedge in his yard it is a bit of a tourist magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordnut Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Steve and the team work on a lot of British classics from the surrounding area. The Marina coupe is one of many projects, I am sure there will be progress over the winter when the main workshop is less busy. Bilmarknaden - glad you mentioned the name, as I've been looking to see if the 2dr Granada pictured is still for sale. I expect its already sold. Are these recent pictures. I am looking for a 2dr but the decent ones that have come up have been to far North to make it viable to send someone with a transporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordnut Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I know all about the Brown one and it was there when I was over in May. I will ask him if he still has it. He was intending to re-commission it but a better project came up. I'd certainly consider as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consul Capri and 315 (not a Consul Classic abroad for some reason)DSC_0611.JPGDSC_0099 - Copy.JPG The 2-door coupe ones with the conventionally sloping rear window and the frameless doors (like the white one) are Consul Capris - the Consul Classic has the backward sloping rear window and is less sleek. Edit - sorry, I've just realised that's not what you meant. My mistake. As you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthecapriman Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Love the yanks, some of them are a bit battered though! Still great to see such rough old things running around. Over here they'd of been on the banger racing track years ago. That scrapyard is amazing. Given the climate and the overgrown forest nature of where they are they don't actually look all that bad, rust wise. I'd have expected them to be dissolving and breaking apart by now if they'd been sat there as long as they have. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
