Close.. the "Shrike" was an advertising name for the SAAB 96 2 stroke in '68.
Yes, it had an 820cc (Down from 850cc) engine with a big yellow dot on it to
verify that it was the small displacement engine. The Sonett (Model 97 ) in
'67 was the 850 cc engine with some extra horses coaxed out of it with a
triple carb, full web crank, dual fuel pumps, and I believe different porting.
They don't weigh very much and are a real giggle to drive. And when properly
set up with the right oil ratio/right oil they only smoke a little.. here's
mine on the dyno:
