Our Take:
- Swedish Rarity: The 1973 Saab Sonett is one of those diamonds in the rough for enthusiasts who revel in the quirky charm of Swedish engineering. Built during a time when Saab was more known for its aircraft than automobiles, the Sonett represents a fascinating attempt by the company to create a sporty, fiberglass-bodied roadster to compete with the European mainstays. It's not every day you see a Saab that isn't a sedan, is it?
- Fiberglass Flair: Unlike the more traditional metal-bodied vehicles of its era, the Sonett's fiberglass construction set it apart, both in terms of weight and style. This gave the car a distinct edge in terms of agility and performance, though it wasn't without its maintenance quirks—like any true classic worth its salt.
- Collector’s Conundrum: With less than 100,000 miles on the clock and the claim of it being stored indoors, this Sonett could potentially be a hidden gem for a collector willing to invest some time and effort. It's like finding that dusty vinyl record in your attic—requires some love to get back into playing condition, but boy, is it worth it!
