We've already established that you can Road Rally in any car you fancy. But many of us in the Road Rally fraternity get a great deal of enjoyment trawling through the online ads for cars looking for "good rally cars". Wether they are winter beaters or super expensive collector cars, we like to think they are good rally cars. It might be the name, or the history of the marque or it might be an acknowledged good pro rally car. For the most part the exercise is a bit of fun. But Road Rally is about having fun.
Let's start with Saab. Wonderful historic rally marque. The very name conjures up images of cars zooming along snow covered, Scandinavian forest roads. Couple that with Turbo. Saab Turbo. That's some serious sounding car there. Saabs are beloved of many in the Rally fraternity as much as Subaru.
So Saab is as good a place as any to start. Here's a Saab 900 Turbo on Craigslist. Looks pretty nice to me. It's a General Motors Saab, rather than a "Saab" Saab. For me personally, older Saabs are preferable to those made after the US automotive agglomerate took them over. Others will have the opposite opinion. Just be sure that when a really beautiful older Saab appears, you will know about it.
