2001 Saab 93 Aero (HOT)

The Vehicles Appeal
There’s nothing quite like a Saab, Sweden’s iconic manufacturer of automobiles. This 9-3 Aero Cabriolet is well presented in blue paint with a black leather interior, wood veneer dashboard, and featuring a coordinating blue convertible soft-top roof, making it ideal for use on sunny summer days.
It has an Auto gearbox, with Sport & Winter settings and a full set of extra’s including Cruise, Climate, Electric/ Heated Front-Seats, fully operational Electric-Roof, Radio/ CD, (no other extras were available on this year/ model).
Having only completed 78, 300 miles, it was originally the lady of the house’s car from 2001-2012, when it became our summer car, only completing 6, 500 miles in the last 13 years, and being garaged every winter (Oct-May).
The bodywork is in good condition with a matching blue soft-top, black leather upholstery and charcoal carpets, with original Saab mats and 2-keys.
Regularly maintained, with full service paperwork, and an MOT through to Jul-2026.

Why Sell
It is time to say a goodbye to the lady of the road, sadly as we get older we are not using it enough to justify retaining.
The car is an appreciating classic, with a reducing number of blue Saab 9-3 Cabriolet’s (Aero-HOT) on the road, it is great to drive, especially with the roof down.
