1967 Saab Sonett 2 Two Stroke SOLD

It is with much regret that after 10 years of ownership I have decided it is time to find my 1967 Saab Sonett II two stroke a new home. Advancing years have resulted in many complaints from my knees whilst getting in and out, and this is the sole reason for sale. The 2 stroke Sonett (not Sonnet) is probably the rarest of Saabs with only 258 built and this one is one of only two in the UK being chassis number 151.

This particular example is neither standard nor concourse! It was successfully raced (and won its class) in sprints by the previous owner who imported the car from the United States in 1996. Due to the scarcity of 5 stud alloys, the hubs were changed to Saab 99 4-stud examples, but the original hubs remain with the car, along with a boxed set of 5-stud Ronals in the same style as those fitted. It was also fitted with the rare and desirable sprint gearbox.

In my ownership, the engine has been fully rebuilt with custom pistons by well known twostroke expert Tim Bishop, and final tuning was done by Chris Partington. The engine is not yet fully run in. This year it has had a new electronic ignition fitted, and 4 new matching tyres.

The only known faults with the car are the headlining could do with replacing and the front windscreen has a crack in the bottom corner on the passenger side. It has always passed the UK MOT test like this, was like it when I bought the car and it has not got any worse. I was told the car has never been welded, and I can find no evidence of any having taken place. I have just renewed the rustproofing (Lanoguard) so it is ready for another year or two. As far as I can tell, it is also the original gelcoat . It has always been garaged since it came to the UK.

I am not good with typing but could talk about this car for hours, so feel free to contact me so I can bore you quicker! The car is located in Aberdeenshire and I have a 2 post ramp so a full inspection can be made. I can deliver anywhere in the UK or further afield by arrangement. I have loads of photographs (but a slow internet connection) and can take any specific ones for serious enquiries.

Price is £29, 995 and I might consider a two stroke Saab saloon in part exchange or even something else old and quirky although I really could do with the space.
