NEO's 1:43 resin Saab 99 in Toreador Red reproduces the Swedish saloon built by a manufacturer with genuine aircraft engineering roots. Sealed resin construction suits a niche Scandinavian classic display. NEO Scale Models specialises in exactly this kind of underserved classic.
TL;DR: NEO's 1:43 resin Saab 99 in Toreador Red reproduces the Swedish saloon built by a manufacturer with genuine aircraft engineering roots, a rarely replicated classic outside dedicated Scandinavian collections. Sealed resin construction suits a niche Saab or Swedish car display.
Saab's aircraft background shaped its cars in unusual ways, and the 99 carried that engineering-first approach into a genuinely distinctive small saloon.
Resin Detailing on an Underserved Classic Subject
The 99's rounded, wraparound windscreen and distinctively curved bonnet give NEO's sealed resin construction genuinely characterful surfacing to work with, quite different from the flatter, more conventional saloons other manufacturers of this era typically built. Toreador Red carries real depth across those curved panels, and NEO's resin specialism suits this kind of underserved classic subject precisely because mainstream diecast manufacturers rarely justify the tooling cost for a car with this modest a following outside Scandinavia. Sealed construction means no opening doors here, a limitation collectors of niche resin subjects generally accept in exchange for a manufacturer willing to tool the subject at all.
Saab's Aviation Roots and the 99's Character
Saab began as an aircraft manufacturer, and that background carried into a genuinely different design philosophy from most car makers, visible in the 99's unusual details, from its wraparound glasshouse to engineering choices that prioritised aerodynamic efficiency and safety over convention. The 99 later introduced turbocharging to a mainstream audience through its Turbo variant, a technology Saab pursued more seriously than most rivals of the era. For a collector interested in engineering-led rather than fashion-led car design, this Saab offers a genuinely distinctive alternative to the German and Italian classics that dominate most 1970s shelves.
