More about this year's winning Photo of the Year from David G.
"I have only had the car for about 2 years now but this is my third 96 having bought my first 96 in 1987. She is called Ingrid and dates from 1975 so it was one of the last ones to be sold in the UK. It had the rubber bumpers, which were put on the car because of legislation in the USA, but I like the chrome ones better so I changed them to the older type. The body work was fair when I bought it with two areas that needed some welding but the car had not been loved for a very long time so I have been systematically replacing everything possible on it to make it as reliable possible and drive well. This includes a new Weber carb, new tyres, up-rated radiator and pretty much all of the brake parts. Now it starts first time every time and runs and drives beautifully. I still use it as a daily drive to work and have driven up to Scotland in Ingrid a number of times. I will eventually drive over to Sweden and Norway in her. I have attached some pictures Ingrid on the email including one of the proud owner and Ingrid! I have done most of the work on it myself but the only garage in the UK with a history of maintaining 96s, Malbrad Saab in Huddersfield, is a short drive from me in York so they have sorted me out for the more difficult jobs."
