The Saab Sonnet prototype.

It's Sonett, not Sonnet (common misspelling), but apart from that you're right. However, it wasn't officially called the 'prototype', it had another model designation instead, in addition to Sonett. Can you tell me which?

Holding the point for you for now.

Do you mean SAAB 94 or SAAB Sonett Super Sport?

What did I say about holding the point for Oswald? That obviously means that you're not welcome to guess yet.

Saab Sonett Super Sport is what it was originally introduced as, so that was what I was after.

94 is the internally-used numeric code.

The point goes to Oswald.

I´ve had the great opportunity to obtain one of only 350 copies of "Saab Sonett No.4", 2005, by Hernandez &Schmidt.

Rarely enough there have been books, written about ONE single car.

Beautifully made, with an embossed book cover, imitating the side vents of the Sonett No.4 (of 6) it shows the history of the car.
It had been modified into the Facett and finally it was doubled into the old Sonett No.4 with the old body style and original chassis and the original Facett body with a replica chassis...!!

If you happen to see another example of this magnificent book, please inform me or buy it yourself!
