Classic Saab 99L.
By the late 60s the 95 and 96 Saabs were getting a little long in the tooth and a fresh new design was needed. The result was the unusually styled 99 which came initially with a 4 cylinder motor of 1709cc. This is a basic version. Later 99s would be available with fuel injection (the 99 EMS) and the landmark turbo versions. Initially 99s were available with 2 doors only. In the mid 70s the oddly-proportioned 3 and 5 door Combi-coupes came along. The design would be re-worked into the 900 series which was introduced in 1979 and lasted to the early 1990s.

99L on display at Tatton Park, Cheshire.
If you have any more info or restoration stories about this particular 99L, or 99Ls in general, I'd really like to feature it on oldclassiccar.
I took all these photos at the classic & vintage show held at Tatton Park, in June 2005. The Saab shown above was one of several hundred vehicles held in the grounds of this National Trust property.
