Algi. They're Swedish.

Considering most of the cars were 96 or 95 V4s - these (and the gorgeous red Sonnet) are powered by the Ford Cologne V4 from the Taunus 12M
The stub nose 95/96 and the red 92B are powered by a two-stroke engine designed by DKW (what eventually became today's Audi).
The MCY 900 Turbo 16S Cabrio - built in Finland (as might some of the 96s)
The upside down 96 - I thought that was a tribute to the rally driver Eric Carlsson.
Cheers Vic
My Dad had 13 Saabs altogether - I am on my 4th - the new generation 9-5, I love it.
Assorted Pentax/Nikon/Mamiya stuff

Triumph engines for years, GM engines later. they have had all sorts
The Triumph engine was probably the shortest lived collaboration - the 2.0 litre was very different to the 1.7 and 1.85s that were shared with the Dolomite.....Scania took on the engineering from the early 1970s - without that there would've been no Turbo.
Don't forget.....
Fiat - for the later diesels
Isuzu for the V6 diesel
Before the whole concern went bankrupt, the plan was to use BMW engines to replace the GM units....
