i did not know that you learn something every day,weve got 3 saabs in the family,nearly a full set

Ummmm, maybe so but you should only really use a space-saver as an emergency "get you home" type spare. They have minimal grip compared to normal tyres and quickly disintrigrate. Do not use in any permanent way!

It would only be used as a space saver Dan, as it fits into the usual spare area.

They certainly did, as did the Scimitar SS1 and some 70s TVRs.

Jonathon, I was remarking more on Dales comment that he has "nearly a full set"

Thats what I thought Dan

Didn't the glorious Citroen DS have the spare under the bonnet with the air in the tyre powering the windscreen washers? Now there's a thought Alex! MikeN.

What about in the side of the engine bay, attached to the inner wheel arch?
