Genuine 79, 550 miles with an extensive history file, including the original bill of sale. Leather bound book pack with service book, owner’s manual and all dealer leaflets etc… from new.

All locks match, 2 keys.
Full original toolkit, spare wheel bag, jack and warning triangle are under the boot floor along with the space saver spare wheel.
All original paint from new, never been damaged, never been restored, garaged from new.
You will note on the photo’s that the bonnet badge has lost its colour, I have since purchased and fitted a new bonnet badge.
Excellent condition leather interior added during my ownership as the original interior was holed on the driver’s seat side bolster. Also added during my ownership new door cards supplied by Aldridge Trimming. It’s also had a new headlining, including sunroof panel and C pillars.
The remainder of the interior is in excellent condition with the original leather trimmed steering wheel still in situ. Along with new floor mats fitted ready for sale.
All electric windows, mirrors and sunroof work with no issues. Working Kenwood CD player.
16’’ Aero wheels with new tyres fitted 3 months ago.
Genuine SAAB branded rear louvre, rear vent covers and a sunroof wind deflector.
Stainless steel exhaust system including downpipe, supplied by SAAB Abbot racing. Sounds lovely without being too loud.
Recent works include a replacement cylinder head (professionally skimmed) camshafts, tappets, stem seals as well as all associated gaskets including head gasket and turbo gasket.
This work was undertaken by my local SAAB Specialist due to there being a slight rattle under load, on investigation it was found that oil was not being supplied to the inner parts of the camshafts. This had probably come about due to lack of use over a good few years prior to my purchasing the car. The car is now running as it should with no rattling.
The car was serviced by said SAAB Specialist at the same time with new filters (oil, fuel and air), spark plugs, plus of course fresh oil and coolant.
£1250 in receipts to prove the above works.
The car drives well, with no untoward noises from the gearbox or engine. Brakes work well and the car stops in a straight line.
Fairly recent replacement parts according to the history file before my purchase of the car include new radiator, thermostat, plug leads, distributor cap, rotor arm, genuine SAAB clutch, pressure plate, release bearing, master cylinder, clutch pipe and all vacuum hoses.
The previous owner’s son (former SAAB mechanic) maintained the car for much of its former life, with larger jobs being undertaken by the local SAAB dealer. He also undertook the driving duties for his mother with the car being well travelled both in the UK and abroad. When his mother passed the car was little used, largely remaining garaged apart from its trip to the MOT station each year.
The previous owner’s son also fitted the white painted grill and rear louvres. There is a chrome grill in the boot if the white grill is not to the new owners liking.
Along with the grill there will be a box of new and used spares included.
I have owned the car for just over a year during which time I have spent just shy of £3k on mechanical work and enhancing the car. The only reason I’m selling is I do not have room for more than one hobby car; my other SAAB is a 2dr full pressure turbo which is on the drive waiting to take the place of this one in the garage. Hence why this car is for sale, believe me if I had the space and could afford to keep both I would.
Insurance on a classic policy costs me £110 per year, road tax is £375 for 12 months as she is not yet tax exempt.
Viewing available by appointment.
The car is in Nettleham near Lincoln.
Price £12, 495
However, if the rear louvre is not to your liking, I will deduct £495 if sold without the louvre.
