The crunched SAAB is still better than the FIAT 850 in the backgound... Well, at least more reliable in it present state.

Here's a video showing just why older---lighter---cars are so worthwhile.

I looked through all the photos and I did not see the last 96 to race in a WRC event.

I wonder who could post that?

John any ideas?

Man those Saabs sure like to stop on their roofs.

The racing "suits" looks nice as well.

The photo is staged, it's an advertisement photo for the drink Erik's holding, shot in very cold weather and cause Erik to be very sick, circa 1966 ...
