Es un proyecto privado de un Sueco a base de un Sonett I; http://www.saab-v4.co.uk/speedball/topi ... ic_id=2244cresslime escribió:¿ alguien puede contarnos algo de ese prototipo blanco?
Derek escribió:The swoopy white one is THE Saab Facett. Based on a Sonett I which was sold off in the early 60's by Saab to a member of the design department at Trollhattan named Sigvard Sorensen. It was a Super Sport but he fitted a standard Sport engine. Stripping off the plastic body, he hand built a new one in metal, using just hand tools and a gas welding set. The fuel tank in the front wing was moved to between the rear wheels, a position that became standard on all subsequent Saabs.
It maybe short on luggage space but IMO looks nicer than the later Sonetts.
In the book "The Sonett, and all other SAAB sports cars" it states the following about #4 of the 6 Sonett I's that were built.
"The forth Sonett, which was green, was sold - just as was #3 (by Saab because they had no storage space!). A Saab engineer rebuilt it as a coupe named Facett. The Facett was wrecked but the parts still remain. However, it is unlikely that they are enough to enable a restoration to be undertaken."
Book was printed in 1983 so I'd guess it's been back on the road for some time, or at least tucked away in a collection somewhere.
