Tuscany (Italian: Toscana) is one of the 20 regions of Italy. It is located in its central part of the country. The capital is Florence, and famous cities are Pisa, Livorno, Prato, Siena, Port. Tuscany is known for producing a large number of world-renowned artists, especially during the Renaissance. Also, Tuscany is known for its protected areas (so-called “cultural landscape”) and for the large number of preserved old towns.
Due to that, as many as six places on the soil of Tuscany have been placed on the UNESCO heritage list, and the province itself is one of the most visited tourist areas in the world.Tuscany is the second most popular Italian region for travellers in Italy, after Veneto.
In addition to all these classics, we have found another classic for you in Florence, and it is the Swedish car classic Saab 96, which is waiting for a new owner in this historic place. The sale includes a beautiful white Saab 96 from 1962 with a well-known three-cylinder two-stroke engine with a capacity of 850 cc.
Yes, that is legendary SAAB 96 from 1962, the car that won the Monte Carlo Rally in that year. Superb and very special, 3-cylinder 2-stroke 850 displacement engine, fueled by mixture, which develops 40hp with 3-speed gearbox. According to seller, car is perfectly preserved and partially restored (body and sheet metal all revised to ensure correct sealing), put back the seat springs while maintaining the original upholstery, original chrome and paint.
As you can see in the pictures, this 96 is mechanically and aesthetically in fairly perfect shape, and the seller has also provided brand new tires. Currently, this Classic 96 does not mount any number plates and is accompanied by documents for registration in any state required. Ideal for uphill racing and historic rallies (see last photo of a similar model owned by the Saab museum at the start of the 2019 Chianti cup).
Along with such a well-preserved classic car comes a special price, and it is not low. Seller Tomas Fantoni, when you can contact him, asks for as much as 18,000 euros for this car. This price may be too high for some, but not for others, but it is certainly the market that will determine the final selling price.
Perhaps some of those interested are afraid of the new laws that are being passed in most countries regarding the reduction of harmful gas emissions. Will the law banning the sale of new cars on gasoline or diesel destroy the market of classic cars by 2030? According to many car experts, old-timers usually drive occasionally and do not fall into the category of new cars. Some countries have even adopted laws that exempt bans on old cars. The United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Germany and Sweden are among the countries whose carbon dioxide emissions are low, so the exemption of old-timers from the traffic ban is not surprising. In any case, whoever buys this classic Saab 96, will surely enjoy it for a long, long time.
