The Spirit of SAAB: 50 Reasons Why We Love Them - Hardcover

by Vaughan Grylls (Author)

Fifty evocative photographs of classic Saab models paired with lively text that shows beyond all doubt why you should want to own one.

Saab is a byword for style, performance, quality, and safety--the cars have a reputation for reliability and solidity, along with classic Scandinavian design that particularly appeals to people in the creative professions. Although production ceased in 2011, Saabs are still highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors.

This fascinating book outlines all the classic Saab models, from 1949's Saab 92 to the last cars to drive off the production line in the early 2010s, including iconic rally cars of the 1960s and '70s and the best-selling Saab 900, with glorious vintage photographs and insightful explanation from Saab superfan Vaughan Grylls.

This book is the perfect gift for the car nut in your life, whether they've owned a Saab or not, and sums up everything that's great about this truly classic brand.
