which was a special model built by saab in 1966. It was the standard 96 with the mc engine,trans, and suspension/wheels/brakes. the dash and seats were the same as the standard car. A very good friend of mine bought one of these in april 1966 and picked it up at the factory in sweden, drove it in sweden for a week and then left it off at the rally shops for saab. six weeks later it arrived in california with the original engine& trans in the trunk(and the springs too) and in the engine department it had a full race 940 cc engine,close ratio transmission and shorter stiffer springs. He raced it for two years in southern Cal and the only parts that failed were one set of front brake pads and a bunch of tires. In the winter of 1967 he traded this car for sonnet # 27 which at that point had no engine or trans since it had been used as a race car. He had the original mc850 motor from the 96 installed in the sonnet and drove it ,raced it and had lots of fun with it for the next thirty years. There is a car &driver road test of one of these cars in march of 66.
