Great van,they are great to see on the road, going to stick with the yellow or original blue?

by **baconsdozen** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 10:42 am

Are they missing or just a bit rusty?.

Hi Lads

Ive just read about the engine you nearly got on e-bay on page 1. What the hell was that doing in a Saab 9-5?

by **Uncle festa** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 9:38 pm

It's Saab 95 or 96 not 9-5.

Early Saab's had either a 2 stroke engine or a 1498cc V4 engine similar to Fords of the same era.

Yep it was just a mistake I thought it was the same engine. Good job I asked on here otherwise I would have got it.
