The Appeal
Beloved of left-field thinkers everywhere, Saab built some of the most interesting and well-engineered cars of the 20th century. Quirky but superbly finished, it’s little wonder that they continue to enjoy an enthusiastic and loyal following amongst fans of modern classics.
This handsome 900 could well be the ideal retro ride for this summer too – offering Saab’s traditionally eccentric styling approach twinned with a convertible roof and the company’s usual high quality of build. This car is in very good condition with little wear - it only needs a good valet.
