Indeed it is. Driver towing the trailer said it had been in storage since 1974. Restoration planned.





1967 Saab Sonett V4
Saab Sonett V4 is an automobile that has a 2 door coupé body style with a front mounted engine powering the front wheels.
Its 4 cylinder, overhead valve naturally aspirated engine has 2 valves per cylinder and a volume of 1.5 litres.
In this application it provides power and torque figures of 65 bhp (66 PS/48 kW) at 4700 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lbft/11.7 kgm) at 2500 rpm respectively.
Claimed kerb weight is 770 kg.
Its maximum speed claimed is 161 km/h or 100 mph.

The V4
In late 1967, Saab started using the Ford Taunus V4; the car was redesigned and renamed the Sonett II V4, with the 1500 cc Ford V4. A new hood was designed by Gunnar A. Sjögren, with a ‘bulge’, necessary to fit the higher engine. The bulge is slightly to the right so it would not obstruct the view of the driver. The engine produced 65 hp (48 kW) and the Sonett II V4 made 0 to 60 in 12.5s and had a top speed of 160 km/h.
In total, only 1868 Sonett IIs were produced.

I once had a 96 V4.

More like a kiwi concept car, snubby!

So fugly they didn't want to put a badge on it.
I understand Bsnub's thinking but the country that gave us the mini and the E-type and the DB9 could never be held responsible for that POS.

Hubcaps look VW.

Go back to bed you moron..

I know nuffink about cars, but I do have an avid interest in all things East European, and I suspect that it is from somewhere beyond the Berlin Wall.

Yugo product maybe. The hub caps and grills style looks yugoslavia. Zastava

I was looking for that car and came across this ...

Its an unnamed car officially. Built on a Triumph Herald chassis.

I wonder if there's a way to fool the reverse image seachers. Have at it Neverna

Clearly something old. Those top mounted wiper motors disappeared in the 1950's
