Beta 1971 Trollhattan Taurus 1.0

1967-1972 Trollhattan 96 mk.2 aka "Taurus"

In early 1960's Scandinavian corporation Trollhattan had idea to create its own full-sized family car as a competitor for emerging European market. They had chosen German successful model Familiewagen 1200 as a template, but with couple of interventions which seriously differ from role-model. First, they designed mk.1 as a FWD on 2.7m chassis with early 1950s sausage design cues. The choice was also successful and all 96 models were known as "The Swedish sausage".
Mk.1 had 900cc inliner-4 engine mounted longitudinally, but it was too underpowered for harsh Scandinavian conditions, so corporation decided to collaborate with European Moldt branch.
So they had put 1.5 L flat-four boxer engine borrowed from Moldt Taurus 17, known as "The German sausage", so the all produced mk.2 models (1967-1972) had also the "Taurus" trim. Also, the design received frontal facelift which gave the model unusual design, the 1950s design cues with mid 1960s frontal look inspired by some mainstream upper-class Italian and French models.
Mk.2 was most produced "Swedish sausage" model with over than 250,000 produced units.
All similarities with real-life Saab 96 are purely coincidental.

There's only one spotted bug...on the front bumpers, there're aux lights which glow different when the "long lights" are turned. I've tried to fix this issue, but still no results.

Enjoy & have fun with the probably ugliest sausage ever! : D
