Re: [Goanet] Pio Gama Pinto's Saab 96
Dear Gabe, Thank you for your response and the image. However, I am actually looking for images of Pio Gama Pinto's white SAAB 96 Sport with license plate KHW 363 in Nairobi, Kenya If anyone has an image of that specific car or details/a contact that can lead me to the car in Nairobi then kindly share it with me. i may not be surprised that the car is still there - somewhere in a barn.

Dear Fredrick, Thank you for your help in forwarding my request to Goanet - hope any of the members may possibly have one or more images that white SAAB 96 and perhaps has information that can bring me closer to tracing the car in Kenya and view and assess it.
