The Appeal
Saab's legendary mid-size executive saloon was born from the success of the 900 series, and quickly gained a reputation befitting of the ever-fascinating, ever-evolving Swedish marque. Indeed, the Saab 9000 was famously taken out to Alabama International Motor Speedway in Talladega, in order to break a most ambitious record for endurance. The "Long Run" led to all three 9000 Turbo 16s passing the 100,000 kilometre mark in 21 days, the lead car breaking 21 international and two world speed records in the process.
This particular 1997 example in rare willow green metallic paint presents well for its age, with its high-end trim all present and correct. Having passed through just two former registered keepers, and accompanied by full service history, this 9000 Turbo offers the discerning enthusiast a comfortable, powerful, and increasingly rare modern classic - and a truly rather remarkably storied model, too.
