My little Sonett

This is my little Saab Sonett II that I bought new in March of 1969. It is serial # 1007 Metalic Blue, and was built in 1968 in Sweden. I have owned it since new and of course am now and have always been the only owner of the little car. I drove it many miles when it was new and as the pictures disclose I drove it to many places from the ocean to the high Sierra mountians.

In 1971 the car was almost destroyed in an accident where it was sandwiched between two full size cars at an intersection in Stockton, CA. When it was finally rebuilt I had it painted Dodge Plum Crazy with gold stripes on the side with SAAB letters.

This is my tent trailer that bought an had painted to match the car.
I then bought two ten speed bicycles which mounted on the back window and later a 14 ft. sailboat (sunfish stile) that mounted on the top of the tent trailer. Don't tell me that one can't take it all with them in a sports car. I was asked many times if I had another car with me as people just couldn't believe that we brought all that stuff with us in the little Sonett.

My wife and I spent many a weekend enjoying our Sonett and driving to many far away places at speeds that would make me wonder why I am still here. Once when we going to Hearst Castle I was sleeping and woke up wondering why the engine seemed to be a little more noisy than usual, I noticed that the speedometer was almost pegged out. Asking my wife why she was driving so fast, she replied that a Volkswagon tried to pass her. BUMMER that guy never new what happened.
