and Bjorn Envall was Saab's Chief Designer. And indeed, there's many quirks in the text which I feel to be signs of British English. E.g. '2-door saloon', '1.2 litre', 'centre', 'programme', '...the small car market would prove ex-tremely difficult for a small maker...' and finally the phrase where the Union Jack shines right thru every second letter: 'Ricardo & Co. Engineers Ltd. (the company founded by the legendary British designer, Sir Harry R. Ricardo)'.
Hope this helps to identify the source.
Ray,
as for the suggestion that it might be a magazine article: it's a scanned text and I definitely see that images were cropped, i.e. I don't see hard-borders of pages. So there might be some magazine ID (or a book ID, whatever) somewhere on the fields/borders, but they might be cropped out.
