    Saab Sonett 1. When a SAAB engineer saw the first prototype, he said 'så nett', meaning 'So Pretty' in Swedish. It was thus named Sonett.

    Bingo Eric is the winner! :Thumbsup:

    I believe Sonnet means "so neat", but heck I'm old & that's what I remember.

    A bit of history for you guys. Eric already knows this. :biggrin5:

    Well that is either a Sunbeam Tiger or an Alpine. Can't tell which from the clue. Hope it was a Tiger, oh man! :drool

    Bingo! I drove it at age 14, at the Boeing Helicopter proving tarmac south of Philly. It changed my life--I was well on my way to being President of the United States (stone cold lock, people), but I ended up playing with cars instead.

    Allright, whaddayagot for me Crashton...

    Since I'm such a sweet guy who loves pink donuts I'll give it to you. :donut1:

    The Hillman Husky is not a sedan, but a wee little wagon. I had one of those about 1968, bought it for $20. One of my favorite cars. Had a chance to buy a black plate California one about 1990, but thought about it for too long.

    Is that the same car? Yellow on the front and green on the back?

    Well, they're Lotus colors, but that hind end betrays one of Colin's cars.
