The Saab GT750 was produced from 1958 through 1960. 3-cylinder water-cooled two-stroke with 3 carbs & 57hp.
A beautifully restored GT750 was on this week’s Chasing Classic Cars TV show.

Lovely. I've always fancied one of those GT750s too. Can't afford either Suzuki GT750 or Saab. But I can dream.

I had a Wartburg Knight with a 1000cc triple 2 stroke back in 1974. It was a couple of years old and was as quick as my mate's 1600GT Cortina, much to his angst!

Interesting. Warturg was an East German manufacturer.

My father and grandfather had a Wartburg Knight. Grandad had the estate version. Dads was saloon. They loved them. I would like one of those too. Such an interesting car with character. Unlike so many modern motors that are all carved from the same lump of plastic.
