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.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Re: guess first production year for 3-cylinder two-stroke GT
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!
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Interesting. Warturg was an East German manufacturer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wartburg_(marque)

Re: guess first production year for 3-cylinder two-stroke GT
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.
