Thick C-pillars bookend the rear windscreen that wears the classic slatted shade seen on the roadgoing Saga of the time, terminating in a rear spoiler lip atop the bootlid. Viewed in profile, the Saga Knight Coupe Concept wears dished wheels, appearing to be of a two-tone machined finish. Meanwhile, its interior is taken in a more modern direction compared to the car’s retro exterior. A fully digital instrument panel greets the driver, as does a two-spoke steering wheel that recalls that of the original Saga, with its spokes at the eight- and four o’clock positions. These are also joined by what appear to be column-mounted shift paddles.
