flat4alfa Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 No, they're quite dinky but the proportions make them look longer Had a look and it's 23cm longer than a Leyland Princess.I did not expect that. And I can only just fit the Princess in the garage, which is a pain in the ar*e. So the SAAB cannae fit. WIfe has always hated the looks of these. It's one of the few cars she recoils from.Yet she drives a funny-face Multipla about. So a ticket for me please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraMikeHotel Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Now that does surprise me! I tend to think of these as small to medium and Princesses as big. Doubt I've ever seen them side by side though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgetgricey Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I think that puts us into single digits left (possibly 8, but only quickly scanned through) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 All updated I think that puts us into single digits left (possibly 8, but only quickly scanned through) 13 to go - some people had to drop out so numbers have fluctuated.

gadgetgricey Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Yep, I'll cave as well.#44 & #47 please to increase to 3 for £30. Cheers Aware this will backfire and one of the random numbers will win, but any chance I could have #44 & #47 if available instead of #20 & #55 No worries if not.

Zelandeth Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The proportions are odd. They've got a really quite short wheelbase, but huge overhangs at both ends. Reckon that's one of the reasons the ride is a bit odd compared to most cars. Still looks tiny compared to a current generation Corsa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanism Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I have really overthought this. I actually woke in the middle of the night wondering If I should post "2 tickets please" and I have been considering it for the last few days. I don't like gambling but its an old Saab. Its got to be worth it. Annoyingly if I wasn't so poor I would buy a 900 anyway. Probably would have asked "how much mister?" relating to this one.

purplebargeken Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I have no need of it at all, I have nowhere to store it (maybe), it isn't ULEZ compliant in this fucking universe, I have no fucking way at all of collecting it whatsoever, all at, ever. Really not at all. Not even a little bit. I used to have a 900 and loved it, I used to have a chrome bumpered 99 and really loved it. Number 15 please. I'm really fucked if I win it.

GeordieInExile Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The short wheelbase and upright A pillar really shouldn't work but... It all just does. Brilliant design work to take a sixties car and make it fit for the eighties. Alanism 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Only just noticed your request Ken - number 15 has been allocated. As it stands my ebay win NSF window regulator has disappeared - not been delivered yet showing as it has. I am hoping it hasnt gone AWOL as it was the cheapest I could find. OSF quadrant has been ordered should be with me next week Alanism and purplebargeken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I see you are offering pies - I am consequently powerless to resist - one mid table random please (are those english pies any good ? I'm accustomed to the best steak pies in scotland don't you know) The Moog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 All tickets allocated. I reckon you would like a butter pie Mr GM. I am not sure our unnamed meat pies beat Scottish steak pie. The Saab mechanism is apparently at a shop instead of being delivered to me. So with a following wind, I should be able to fix both windows before it goes.

chodweaver Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Is the list at post #2 up to date? If so, ticket #42 for Keymaster please. Because a Saab is the answer to life, the universe and everything and will make his life complete*. And that back seat is ideal for transporting basses.

The Moog Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 What a nice friend you are Chdoweaver! Down the last 5 tickets now As of 6pm today the car has both front electric windows that shut, a boot that doesn't smack you in the head due to new gas struts. As I am a kind gent I am going to add to the pot - 3 cans of pop or 3 bottle of local beer to aid your pie digestions. So you getA car with almost full year of mot and very blue carpets6 pies from two different Accrington bakeries3 cans of pop or local beer That's all for £12.50 a ticket. Would be great to get them all sold and paid for a Wednesday draw. I am off to Scotland next weekend so potentially could deliver it anywhere between Accrington and Crieff/Kinross (if it is insured and taxed) Shirley Knott, Coprolalia, yes oui si and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
