Introduced in 1984, the Saab 900 Turbo 16 benefited from a new sixteen-valve cylinder head that boosted power and torque to 175bhp and 201lbft respectively. Sharing the same basic underpinnings as its lesser siblings, it featured coil-sprung double-wishbone independent front suspension, a Watts-linkage located beam rear axle (complete with Panhard rod), four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Reputedly capable of over 130mph and 0-60mph in 8. 5 seconds, the T16 has gone on to attract something of a cult following since ceasing production in 1993.
Finished in Black with Beige cloth upholstery, this particular example was first registered in Stoke-on-Trent on November 1st 1985 (or so its ‘C220 UVT’ number plate would imply). A three-door, hatchback variant, it has been in the current (third) ownership since 1992. Barn stored for much of that time, the Saab is now in need of restoration. Appearing to be substantially complete, the 900 Turbo 16 has the makings of an interesting project. The recorded mileage stands at 160, 700 which is not out of the way for one of these Swedish road rockets.
