1977 Saab 99ems | London, Essex

A 1977 Saab 99 EMS, the sporty, well-equipped top model of the Swedish 99 range, which arrived in 1967. The 99 is liked for its distinctive shape and its safety thinking, with side-impact beams in every door. The EMS is where Saab introduced electronic fuel injection to the 99, for drivers who wanted more pace from a family car. This car is Silver with a brown interior, a cool and warm pairing that photographs softly in daylight. Its condition is very good. The 1985cc engine is the 2.0-litre size the later 99s carried. Its compact 1970s Swedish lines and plain silver paint give advertising, photography and fashion or editorial shoots a calm, period backdrop. They also suit 1970s-set film and TV and music video, where an understated European car is wanted. At events it makes a quieter, more offbeat arrival than the usual classics. It is a characterful choice for a wedding or special day out too. The car is based in London and Essex.
