About the Saab 99 EMS #1 P. Eklund / B. Cederberg Rally Sweden 1977 MCG 1:18

TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Saab 99 EMS reproduces Per Eklund and Bo Cederberg's #1 car from Rally Sweden 1977. Diecast construction captures period rally equipment: auxiliary lamps, mud flaps, and sponsor liveries. A focused piece for Scandinavian rally history rather than a broad Saab road-car collection.

Rally Sweden has run since the 1950s as one of the sport's coldest and fastest events, and in 1977 Swedish crews in Swedish cars gave the event a distinctly home-grown flavor.

Per Eklund's Saab 99 EMS on Home Snow

Per Eklund built his early reputation racing Saabs on the loose, snow-packed roads of his home country, and Rally Sweden was the event where that local knowledge mattered most. The 99 EMS carried Saab's fuel-injected performance trim rather than the turbocharged setup that would arrive on later Saab rally cars, so this #1 entry represents the marque's pre-turbo competitive era. Co-driven by Bo Cederberg, the car ran with the auxiliary lighting, raised ride height, and mud flaps that Scandinavian ice-and-snow rallying demanded, details that separate a genuine rally car from a road-going 99 wearing a number plate. Saab's factory-backed rally program leaned on exactly this kind of home-event knowledge, using Rally Sweden as a showcase for cars built and driven by Swedes on Swedish terrain.

MCG's Diecast Rendering of a 1970s Rally Saab

MCG renders this 99 EMS in diecast at 1:18, a scale that gives the boxy Saab silhouette real shelf presence next to larger period rally cars from Ford, Fiat, or Lancia. The build reproduces the rally add-ons that define this car's look: auxiliary lamps mounted ahead of the grille, mud flaps behind each wheel, and tampo-printed sponsor graphics carried cleanly across the door panels. Diecast construction gives the model the metal heft collectors associate with 1:18 pieces, though the trade-off is a body built around opening doors and hood rather than the razor-sharp panel lines a sealed resin casting could achieve. For a collector building a Rally Sweden lineup, this car pairs naturally with MCG's companion release of the winning #4 Saab from the same event, letting a shelf tell the story of the same rally through two different Swedish crews, one chasing the win and one representing the marque's broader effort that year.
