History

Imported by me from the USA in 2010, it was a One owner car that I bought from the owners widow. One of only 2 running in the country
….she’s baby poo green I’m afraid, but hell, a finer 70′s colour you’ll never see.
OK the Orange is great, but the history of this one was too good to pass up.

Its a 1972, thin bumper car, with factory fitted Air Conditioning. Its only had one owner, and the owner’s widow reluctantly sold it as it wasn’t getting used.

Importing into Australia wasn’t that hard – in fact it was easy. The only problem was I went on the USA shipper’s estimates of the Australian landing fees – how wrong that was! But overall, I am really pleased. I have a car I can go motorkhanaing in and hill climbing, drive the Bay to Birdwood Classic (I already have a 1930 Singer for the real Bay to Birdwood) and its unique in South Australia and not many at all in Australia.

Modifications

Weber, Camshaft - all standard SAAB performance options. Sway bar and faster steering rack
