Presumably it's a 4-stroke Saab 96 - the 2-stroke is much more interesting, and simple too, but hardly practical i guess.
i think anyone planning to own a 'classic' car long-term is going to have to expect to face continual expenditure of one sort or another, regardless of whether they do their own maintenance. 'Fast appreciating classics' are pretty much a myth, unless you are in the bentley/bugatti league, so you never really break even. ånd rust never really goes away...
i hope he enjoys his choice. being different is worth the extra hassle and expense, in my opinion.
