suits this car and its fans to a S, not a T. MotoeXotica Classic
Cars is very excited to offer this extremely rare 1962 Saab 95
"Bullnose" Panel Van. For certain markets, a special export
version�sedan delivery�van was available without a rear seat and
rear side windows. This particular example was one of only three
right-hand drive vans exported to the United Kingdom and was used
by dealers as a service vehicle. A classic car enthusiast found
this unit in pieces and exposed to the local climate in November
1991 and began to restore it. Before he could complete it, he
swapped the Saab for a different vehicle from a man who used to
work on the Saab many years before and wanted to rebuild it. The
man who found it in pieces saw it in a classic car magazine in
2000, fully restored. The Saab went on to change hands a few times
before surfacing at an auction in 2008. The van's original color
was grey; it was repainted yellow during the 1970s. When restored,
the body was returned to gray. The paint is in near-excellent
condition, the perfect shade for this vehicle's original mission.
Its glass panels are in great condition, as are the vehicle's
lights and bumpers. The wagon rolls on Kumho Power Star 758 tires,
within 15-inch gray steel wheels and Saab vented hubcaps. The
wagon's panels are still in fantastic shape. There is a blue SAAB
logos on each side door and rear mudflaps with logos above
airplanes. Saab's slogan used to be, "Born From Jets." The wagon
has a 841cc three-cylinder, two-stroke engine making 46 horsepower
and is connected to a column-shift, four-speed manual transmission.
Continuing its 'different' theme, the engine's cooling system is
mounted so that the cooling fan faces the firewall with the
radiator between the two. There is a small handle on the firewall
that, when pushed, puts the car into a "freewheeling" mode. This
allows the driver to coast downhill without seizing the two-stroke
engine. When power is needed, the transmission would engage and the
driver could power the car up hill again. Inside, the two-tone
brick red and gray front bucket seats look great and the gray
floormats complement the utilitarian look and feel of the wagon.
There is a gate between the driver and the cargo bay, to keep boxes
and other items from sliding forward and interfering with the
driver. The headliner is in fine form, with the dashboard,
two-spoke steering wheel, door panels, mirrors and gear shift lever
in great shape. The cargo area looks nearly immaculate with its
brick red carpeting. The wagon is a radio-delete model.
Documentation includes an English parts list from April 1998,
contact information for the Danish Saab Museum and a Swedish parts
list plus miscellaneous information. True Saab enthusiasts love
these cars for what they are, making them desirable and affordable.
