Saab 96
This is the cover of a Swedish-market brochure issued in August 1964, so the engine fitted is a three-cylinder, two-stroke 841cc unit. Even though we can't read a word of Swedish, we can deduce from the text that Saab are boasting of how the two-stroke format makes their threecylinder engine very compact but as smooth as a four-stroke unit with six cylinders. Or as they say in Trollhätten: 'Saab-motoren är av tvåtaktstyp och har tre cylindrar. Den är kompakt och ettrig men har en lugn ock vibrationsfri gång. Liksom.' We couldn't have put it better ourselves.
