Three cylinder two stroke 750cc, what's not to like. I had a ride in one back when i was a poor hitchhiking student. Interesting cars.

How about this one then, the sound is incredible, even if the speeds aren't that great. If you close you eyes and listen, it sounds just like an angry Buffalo with chambers.

One of my high school teachers had one of those in the '70s, all noise & no action, incredible sound though.

A lot like the early Suzuki 4x4 2stroke triples, some crazy memories with one of those in the early '80s, and we survived. :shock:

Very cool indeed! A GT750 made in Sweden. The folks who made the video should refrain from trying to be so creative, and loose the background music. It almost masks the sounds of this interesting little car. Hearing the little critter run was the point of the exercise, in the first place. Am I getting grumpy in my advanced years? No comment required. Cheers.

Rick you are right that just because teh tools are available, doesn't mean that everyone is skilled in using them.

But there are lots of Saab 2 stroke videos out there including dyno runs, early rally footage etc. Not all of them have loud music. Some allow the two stroke triple music to dominate the soundscape

I once heard a that one of the develoment engineers at Husquarna used a two stoke Saab car to test out new ideas for the MX engines. Must have ben an interesting car...
Been a while since I've seen one on the road...
