Wednesday 17th February 1960

The 841 cc, 38 hp Saab 96, with a 3 cylinder two-stroke engine was premiered at a Stockholm press conference. Produced until January 1980, it was the car for which the marque Saab became internationally known, not least because of its safety innovations and its motor sport successes. The ‘93’ was also the first Saab model officially imported to the UK.
