Yeah the Saab is an early Turbo, perhaps 78-80 or so

Replying to: lancerfixer (Jul 23, 2005 9:48 am) The turbine wheels indicate, IIIRC, that it's a 99 EMS (late '70s.) '79 model, maybe?   You're right on the year, Lancer but weren't the Turbine/Star Wars wheels specific to the first Gen 99 Turbo models? Replies to this message: lancerfixer (Jul 23, 2005 2:27 pm)

Replying to: andys120 (Jul 23, 2005 12:40 pm) Ah, yes! The '47 Cisitalia. This car was indeed influential, as a good deal of the '50s GT coupes from Europe were hugely inspired by it. The styling of this car was way ahead of it's time.   Bob Replies to this message: andys120 (Jul 23, 2005 1:35 pm)

The styling of this car was way ahead of it's time.   The Cisitalia 202 Gran Sport's influence on GTs to this day can be seen in this side view.     Not Surpisingly it's a Pinin Farina design and perhaps his best.

but not so much for the styling which was antiquated from the day it was born.   Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 23, 2005 4:14 pm) andys120 (Jul 23, 2005 7:51 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Jul 23, 2005 8:37 pm) and 4 more...

Replying to: andys120 (Jul 23, 2005 1:39 pm) yuck...the TD....you're breakin' my heart. Now why didn't you pick the far prettier TC? Or did you know that most MG lovers hate the TD?   I can't stand the TDs...the wheels are too small and really spoil the entire car. They make a charming car ugly to look at.     What a difference the right proportions make!!
