I think the original 2 cyl SAAB motor was designed after the Deke, not
from them, though.  Think of it as Swedish pride, perhaps.

from Joe Elliot on the 8th: (I'm not so behind as I used to be)

<<There were three notable 3 cylinder 2 stroke cars I know of: Saab
92/94, Auto Union 1000 (very much the forerunner of todays Audi) and the
East German Wartburg from Eisenach. I don't know if they all used the
same engine, but they were all late fifties early sixties contemporaries
so there may be a connection. All were FWD and had free wheel devices to
offset the roughness of a 2 stroke on the overrun. The engines sounded
great, but were not that powerful given their small size.

What about DKW?  I thought I read somewhere that those SAAB engines
were sourced from DKW.>>
