History & Significance
The Saab 96 V4 “Souvenir” models represent the final chapter of Saab’s iconic two‑stroke/ V4 era. Each car was individually numbered, making surviving examples increasingly scarce. This car offers an excellent basis for restoration and would make a rewarding project for a Saab enthusiast or collector seeking a historically significant model.
