Surface Rust Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 That's wonderful. Love the haze in the pics as well. Is the red trim on the wings correct? I think it slightly spoils the sleekness of the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently so, although the other 93b I know in the UK is also black! The last Swedish owner (in 2021) owned it for 31 years and worked at the Saab plant in Trollhatten as a detailer. The car was resprayed at the plant and took 7 litres of paint. None of which will have contributed to the demise of Saab at all . It has not been on the road since import and I believe was not used for many years in Sweden either so I need to do a recommision.

Rave Posted Thursday at 20:11 Share Posted Thursday at 20:11 Sorry if this is a dim question, but why's it LHD if Sweden drove on the left until 1967? Snake Charmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leakingstrut Posted Friday at 08:48 Share Posted Friday at 08:48 I assume they started selling LHD cars a good few years before so people weren’t screwed after the switch? Stunning car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabnut Posted Sunday at 21:28 Author Share Posted Sunday at 21:28 All home market Saabs (production started post WW2) were LHD. I think it was 1968 they switched sides, but most cars sold in Sweden were LHD, probably to assist in neighbouring countries, although I have heard it said that LHD was popular outside of cities where there was often unmetalled roars and steep drop offs with no barrier as it made moving close to the edge easier. Today was the Alford autojumble and a few local shiters had arranged to meet up there but unfortunately I had visitors so could not make it. My visitors left after lunch so decided to see if Delilah (named by a friends grand daughter due to the registration) would start as the last time it was run was September last year. Took my jump pack out but surprisingly did not need it as oce fuel was pulled through she started well. A quick pressure wash and off for a run. Filled up with fresh fuel and enjoyed the sun. I had been planning on selling this one as I have had it close to 15 years when I discovered a small* amount of rot which @GingerNuttz made a fantastic job of fixing. Now it is solid and running well, thoughts again turned to possibly selling, so I stopped to take a few photos. Carried on for about 50 miles then headed home. Once on my track it started to play up, lacking power, back firing and cutting out. I think the points have closed up but as I got home it started raining. All thoughts of selling are again on the back burner until I investigate further. Snake Charmer, Coprolalia, mk2_craig and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
