It's my daily driver a the moment, until I replace it at the end of the year with a "normal" Saab road car while the Enduro is taken off the road for a re-builb to new. Hopefully it will be prepared for Targa next year or the year after.
Here's mine (we think, but aren't completely positive yet) - as is was, new, back in 1980 on the floor at the Melbourne Motor Show. No radio. No A/C. No heat. No springs and 17lb of boost as standard. The thing I don't like about badly-kept dirt roads while driving this car are corrugations - they shake the thing apart - especially the 30-year old wiring loom inside the VERY hot engine bay. Brittle wires don't like being rattled too much. If I could, I'd not be driving it around right now - but it's just too much fun, and being a Saab hatch, I can fit a lot of scopes inside - or even a 370L fridge if I choose. Cavernous!

Ah, a rare Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget bird huh?
Nice, be cool to see it but sounds like the LR would be a better choice, and it can still get to the pub
