This beautiful retro classic car comes in excellent condition with a FSH, having been professionally maintained throughout- mechanically and bodywork / interior, with no expense spared. Beautifully restored, original Aero seats and body rust has been treated. Full MOT. Recent new exhaust.
Great to look at with professionally refurbed 9000 Aero wheels. Rapid acceleration and comfortable, smooth drive with refurbished, automatic gearbox (gives a better drive than my manual 9000 Anniversary). Professional LPG conversion makes it extremely economical to run, but also easy to switch to petrol at any time (gives better mpg than my manual 9000!). 29 MPG - Petrol or LPG (costs £30 to fill LPG tank). The LPG tank is beneath the boot floor, having minimal impact on the boot space.
Full 9000 Aero spec: Electric Recaro seats, in full working order with new heating system, Electric sunroof, AAC, etc. Fabulous to drive - best of any 9000 I have driven. High performance in a velvet glove. Low running costs and Low insurance for the performance.
All the usual 9000 weak points sorted and maintained:
- wings
- gearbox
- drivers seat
- brakes
- DI ignition unit (genuine SAAB part)
- water reservoir
- central locking
- New headlights (really dangerous if they have not been changed on any 9000)
- fuel tank straps
- power steering
- reversing camera (so much easier to park this 9000!)
- New ignition switch
- New brakes all round
- New Fuel Pump (genuine SAAB)
- wheel arches - sorted, though there is slight bubbling just started on one.
Driver’s seat repaired by auto leather craftsman who also fitted more robust carbon heat pads. Protection layer re-applied to both front seats. Aero seats are superbly comfortable - (everyone comments when they sit in them).
Professional LPG conversion with latest system, with no drop in performance or economy at 70p/ litre.
Always run on E5 Fuel (Shell Optimax) so tank and fuel lines remain preserved.
Honest bits: headlight wipers need fixing and the bonnet has small stone chips.
This car has been well-loved by Saab enthusiasts and is a wonderful example of the best model spec in the 9000 range.
