    Chuck, didn't the Saab Sonnett have a pretty cool V4 as well? I remember lusting after one in a showroom up in Old Worthington. I think at the time they were also the local Rolls dealer.... Can't remember the name.... Continental Motors, no that's where I bought my 1974 2002Tii. Can't remember the Saab dealer... Just up the street from the Worthington Inn. Oh well, it was a long time ago.
    Shoot.... I can't remember if I wore socks yesterday.....:idea:

    From WorldCarFans.com is a spy shot of the small BMW that is reported to share the same platform as the MINI.

    The V4 came out in 68 due to pollution regs. They did have a 2 stroke in 68 for a short while. It was down sized to 750cc to slip through a loophole in the regs. Always liked Sonetts, cool cars. IIRC the Saab dealer was in the current location of La Chatelaine. I don't remember the name either.
