Images of a Saab at LeMans



UPDATE: Etienne has video!

Last weekend, a little two-stroke Saab 93 from the 1950s took to the track at LeMans - and won. Personally speaking, I’d be quite happy if they bought this little car and preserved it in the Saab Museum in Trollhattan, but on the other hand, it’d be fully appropriate if it were to keep on racing. If the car could speak it’d probably tell you it was happier that way.

Following are some images from the event, taken by Joel D. Joel is a friend of one of our regulars here, Golfhunter, and is a Volvo P1800 enthusiast (his website is here), as well as having more than just a passing interest in Saabs.

My thanks to Joel for allowing us to share these photos, and to Golfhunter for passing them on.

      I’m sad we couldn’t reccord the sound of the 93, it was really amazing when they left the paddock !!!
      A great moment and a special thank to Joel for driving me in his beautifull Volvo P1800 ;)

      Great site-redesign Swade.

      And a real beauty, this vintage 93.
      Now I’m off to Etiennes blog for the sound.
      (in awaiting any blogger who can offer smell of burned rubber, two-stroke and exhaust gasses, I guess Swade is off developping that one for its TS 3.11)
