but were manufactured by Triumph. Triumph shared in the design since they used it in the Triumph Stag V8. The Saab I4 was said to be half of this V8. I had a new 1968 99 chassis #6334 which was part of the preproduction run. I read around that time that Ricardo used the Coventry Climax racing engine as a model for the design. Have been unable to confirm that recently.
