  • Guessed right then LOL

    Didn't Saab also experiment with Truimph engines ?

    There wasn't much with their own old 2 strokes. In fact they were brilliant, but at the end of the 60-s costumers didn't want 2 stroke engines anymore.

    However Saab gave their 2 strokes a second lease of life in their legendary Sonnet series. Best light sports cars ever build.

    These Ford V4-s sounded a bit ''rough'' in low revs, but were/are sturdy little buggers.

  • Yes a Triumph slant 4 engine was used in a Saab 99,the Triumph Stag V8 engine was basically 2 of these stuck together

  • Looks and sounds a lot like a Ford V 4 engine, situated under the hood the other way around.

  • It is a German Ford Taunus V4 but it is not transverse,it is in line driving the front wheels

  • very nice, i'm about to buy one like yours for 350 bucks and its in a very good shape!. It will be fun :D

  • Good luck, cars in the UK rust very badly,had to do a lot of welding,hope yours is ok.

see all

  • They didn't switch from Triumph to Ford.

    The 99 started out with the Triumph slant 4 before their own "B engine" was ready.

    The 92/93/96 started out with a saab two-stroke and ended up with a Ford V4, I'm guessing because the engine bay was too cramped for an i4.

    Two different cars.

  • Cars are usually bether in the north of sweden, we havent been throwing around salt till a year back or so. In south sweden theres tons of salt

  • Have 1 in the same colour, hasnt been out of a barn fo 10 years. But it still started after i pulled it out. Also, put in reverse and turn the wheels as much as you can, then just drive in circles

  • O NO !

    The defining example of the BL automotive house of horrors cut in half ?

    That was allready a notorious fail to begin with.

    No wonder Saab switched to Ford Germany.

  • Its good, litte rust here and there, it is in sweden, but lucky as i'am its not in the north :) so it will rust by the snow
