Press Release - New SOC GB Logo
After many years of admirable service the traditional Saab Owners Club roundel is to be superseded with an all new logo. However, do not worry, the SOC roundel that many of us all know and love and instantly recognise as the Saab OwnersClub identity will not disappear, it will simply become the clubs ‘classic’ or ‘retro’ logo. The new logo is a more modern image that we hope will appeal to everyone,both classic and modern Saab owners.

Saab 99 Group 1 Tuning Kit
GALLOWAY HILLS RALLY
As the final round, the Galloway Hills Rally was not a scoring round for us and my driver took the decision not to contest it, giving me a chance to dust off the 99 for another blast through the woods. Martin MacCabe, a Scottish Championship regular kindly agreed to read the notes. With a two car team bolstered by Grant Inglis in his lovely new MK2 Escort we made a good spectacle as the service barges towed us into the Rally HQ in the pretty town of Castle Douglas.
