Welcome to the Saabs United Historic Rally Team home page!

We wish all SAAB fans and others interested in historic rallies and rally cars a warm welcome to this site, where our mission to build a replica Saab 99 Turbo rally car and compete in the 2010 Midnight Sun Rally will be featured as the project progresses!

We have just engaged the 1st of our 4 forward gears in the journey towards the 2010 Swedish Rally to the Midnightsun.  The clock is ticking and we are approximately 11 months away from the starting flag.

The team:

Jörgen Trued (Driver)
- born in Trollhättan 1965 – has driven Midnattssolsrallyt three times.

Bo Janzon (Co-driver)
- born in Stockholm 1943, – has organized The Swedish Rally way back in time and has been Jörgen’s co-driver for three years.

You can read more about the team members on the About page.

The car:

SAAB 99 CombiCoupe Turbo Rally 1978, a replica of the SAAB-Works team car that Stig Blomqvist drove in the Lombard RAC Rally in 1978. More information here.

You can read more about the car we plan to build, and the parts we need, on The Car page.

Main sponsors and supporters:

SaabsUnited contributing authors, Swade and Eggs.

An array of different companies seen as links here.

You, too, can become a sponsor, either large or small. Just drop us a line and you could have your company or your name on the car. There is also the possibility to join the team and follow the rally next year in Sweden.

Hang on – we are ready for takeoff!
