SAAB Rally and Racing Films

The Saab 96 was driven most famously by Erik Carlsson, in many international rallies. His most famous successes were first in the 1960, 1961 and 1962 RAC Rallies and first in the 1962 and 1963 Monte Carlo Rallies. It was these successive, top-level victories that put the Saab 96 'on the map' and established its reputation for reliability and toughness. Carlsson also competed in the East African Safari Rally. Famous rallying names such as Simo Lampinen, Per Eklund, Pat Moss-Carlsson, Tom Trana, Stig Blomqvist and Carl Orrenius have also been connected with the Saab 96.

Have owned more of these than I can count. You haven't lived unless you've driven one hard through the snow or dirt.

+Clae Görhammar They probably added the sound. This is an unretouched compilation. I'll repost it if the sound turns up. Wish I had an answer for everyone on this.

simple and very effective

[@ramchickedy9570]

Does anyone happen to know where the scenes between 0:47 and 1:07 were filmed? At first I thought it was an English track, but the pits are clearly in Sweden. Is it Skarpnäck?

[@JOSALDINHO22000]

I WISHD ID HAD 96 AND 99

[@IROCMAN666]

There is Stig Blomqvist who all learned with Saab.

[@firststompey]

Where is the audio?

[@KingRoseArchives]

+Jay Barry Many of these films were shot without sound. It was an era where film cameras didn't have built in audio recording capabilities. Sound required another person on the crew who had an audio recording device and one that could record sound that synced with the camera. Some of the clips in this compilation do have sound. It's included wherever it exists.

[@firststompey]

+King Rose Archives I was alive for almost all of those clips and rallied as well. There was no audio on what I watched including the Stig, 99 Turbo and Talladega clips, which I know should have had them.
