derivative (maybe a Pug link there)), VW Beetle, or if very old, a
Renault Dauphine. If you confused another brand for a Saab with a rear
engine, I'm going to suggest a Skoda 105/120/130 (badged as Estelle in
the UK) looks quite similar in shape to a 99 Saloon.
Skoda Estelle.

Saab 99

Some similarities in shape, both 70's designs.
I now own a 900 T16, and did own a Skoda 120L. both fantastically
distinctive cars in their own way.

square..
A 99 has a few more nice curves on it, especially with that semi sweeping
fastback look, concave rear window, clamshell bonnet, curved windscreen.
Actually one car that is often mistaken for a 70's saab of some sort, is the
VW type 4..maybe this is what brian remembers...
