"COMING TO AUCTION"
FROM
1972 SAAB 96 V4
(All Proceeds to go to Brain Tumour Research)
Estimate: No Reserve
Registration Number: HDF 918L
Chassis Number: 96732017475
As featured in the hit Channel 4 television programme, 'For The Love of Cars', transmission date; 17th May 2015, and to be sold at no reserve with all proceeds going to supporting the Brain Tumour Research Fund at the QEHB Charity. The QEHB Charity is the official charity for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, and funds equipment, research and training that are over and above that provided by the NHS. It also funds those “added extras” that help make a stay in hospital more comfortable for patients and their families. Donations can also be made online at www.qehb.org/donate-form/ or you can send a cheque made payable to 'QEHB Charity' to QEHB Charity, Nuffield House 5th floor, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, B15 2TH. Please could this be marked 'Brain Tumour Research Fund'. Thank you for your support.
HDF 918L was partially dismantled some years ago in preparation for a restoration that stalled. It was recently rescued by Ant Anstead of Evanta Motors for Series 2 of Channel 4's 'For the Love of Cars' and has now been restored by Ant, working with the team at restoration specialists MRH in Hertford. Firstly, the shell was stripped and assessed, and then all welding repairs were completed before it could be painted in the original Saab Ambragelb Y8B.
The original engine, gearbox and ancillaries were then rebuilt with new or reconditioned components and modern electronic ignition was fitted in order to improve cold starting and reliability. The wiring and electrical systems were renewed or restored and the fuel system was also rebuilt with modern materials.
A single choke Weber carburettor was fitted in order to utilise its manual choke. The brakes, steering and suspension were also rebuilt with new components throughout and fitted with poly bushes.
As such, it represents a fine opportunity to purchase a superb Saab 96 which could equally be used as an everyday car or make a fine show car.
