I came across some brilliant old photos while goggling about...

Teambild.se
upper right corner,search for "saab"
http://www.teambild.se/arkiv/index.php

The master of rally photography : Reinhard Klein
search for Saab under "car type"
http://www.mcklein-imagedatabase.com/imagedatabase/index.php?index=12&idb_cmd=search&idb_sc=189

These are a great database of historical rally activity...they want you to buy the pictures,which would cost a bit though...

I've seen the mcklien stuff before but never the teambild.se photos. Those are great! I'd actually like to buy a couple.

:shock: Yeah,it blew my mind when I came across the Teambild archive!
:!:

Another fun place for looking is on http://www.tradera.com,there's always 500 Saab items and Sport & Rally stuff comes up frequently,mostly V4 stuff which is fiercely bid upon...the snag is most folks want bank transfers ala Postgrio or something,but there's a few who take Paypal---I bought a buncha mags from this guy & he mailed 'em to me before I paid him,it was different...I got 7 mags for 140SEK + post of 160SEK,not too bad.

I haven't translated the auction but it looks like pieces that go along the A-pillar, maybe up the edge of the door. I think they keep dirt etc. from coming off the windshield and covering the windows. They'd be helpful with all the New England salt in the winter. I usually find that they'll get so dirty it's hard to see the door mirrors.

You're right, Geoff...they were available in the damned catalog,did you have some fitted up to your car?

Mirrors are for sissies! :lol:

I thought I'd ask on STCS & acoupla folks responded:
