I like to do my bit.

BTW my wheel hasn't fallen off since having the suspension arm fitted ..... I guess they knew what they were doing.

You´ve got a good car. Last you a lifetime (even though you moan about the fuel bills

)

Great read

Is the car in the first photo the one used to make that trailer on Ebay?

The same model anyway. The SAAB 96 was the saloon and the 95 was the estate version. The family in the photos was the family of one of the said engineers. (guy in cloth cap). His missus in the shots designed all the interior and colour schemes. The interior photos were taken for the press by SAAB and for a teaching aid for the sales personell. They did a short film showing the workings of the van

This is up for sale. I have one of these. They only made about 70 between 62 and 65. Fantastic tourer. This one has been in the same family for the last 20 years. This is an early one with 9 inch wheels. Mine is a later model with 12 inch (but I have 13 inch on it). After the first couple of years the production was sold by the firm Carman to another firm. They changed the name to Carmen. Mine is a Carmen 1965.
