Aaah, I would have my parents Saab 99 Combe Coupe Automatic...it was in metallic turd brown but I loved the car....I have not seen one since the day they sold it. In classic Saab stylee, it went like sh!t off a shovel.Such a pisser, isn't it, when you think back over your parents' car history and spot a few lovely examples you'd love to have been able to get your hands on, if only you were old enough!
Reg was 22EXX...cool eh?
Capri, were you by chance in Leigh Tupperware services on Saturday? I saw a rather nice black Capri with red striping..but you/he naffed off when I came running towards you/him waving my arms like a maniac!!
Interesting talk about the engines. Catheram 7 used the 1.6 x flow and proved a great engine with tuning potential. They also used the 2.0 ltr Vauxhall unit which although not necessarily quicker (a heavier unit) had much more torque and proved almost indestructible.
I like the Capri, a nice motor, one I would like in a collection!!
Still, not to worry! Incidentally, it's easy to spot mine because, rather than the usual 'thick red' over 'thin silver' stripes, mine got the 'thick silver' over 'thin red' stripes - if I'm making no sense, have a butchers in the pic and you should be able to see what I mean!
