I've had my eye on these for a while http://www.simplyclassics.co.nz/vehicles/V396_1974... STOP LAUGHING! There's another even more atrociously colored one for sale in Cheshire, England (it's purple) but Aus is closer.

Yes, That's largely my motivation, too. I remember getting any rallying / performance driving book I could out of the Manurewa public library when I was a teen and something about those Carlsson-era Saabs caught my attention;and I think that pimped version is cool-vaguely reminiscent of early 70s Alfa Giulietta veloce-which I'm tempted by too! Anyway, I've bought a 96 off trademe. It's powder blue and about 10cm long.....

Okay, I'm getting carried away now....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ILwJQLSugQ&mode=related&search= I particularly like the first comment. (Who were these moths and why couldn't they drive their own Saab around Mexico?)
