Sorry if it came across as critical it was a friendly observation as quite often due to people replying too old posts on here they suddenly become active again I'm pretty sure that I've actually got the 4l magazine with the two cars as compared if I find it I will will try and post some of the pics on here for you
Yes but I can look at the pictures and pretend I can still understand French I have been getting quite good recently as I am on several French Facebook groups and although they help fully provide a translation I try and see if I can can read the original
Had the same engine in a Transit, Saab did a lot more with the Ford V4, even beating the works Escorts mk1 rally cars with it until they put a twin cam BDA into the Escort, Saab even developed a turbo version of the V4 putting out @210 bhp, my Ford had 46....

is your dad called Mark?I think I met your guinea pig, me & my friend Martin who had a Starsky & Hutch kinda 95 came over once to talk with your dad about Saabs!Think you were about 14!!Now remember that Saab used the german cologne v4 engine, not the uk V4 essex engine. View attachment 24538
My dad's own saab 95 V4 behind my R4, (this is a very old picture, RIP Annoyed Polo the Guinea Pig

Both engines both, visually easiest way to identify ( when train-spotting at shows etc.)is the position of distributor, colonge engines at rear of engine block behind carb, essex front of block in plain view.Well, I've learnt something new today, in my head Cologne was V4 and Essex V6, so there you go, nice one, good info!
