A highly original and very well-kept example

The Appeal

We're sure we weren't the only ones to shed a tear when Saab closed its doors for the last time in 2011. Saab was a great innovator to the end, a carmaker that punched well above its weight in terms of style, performance, technology and safety. The 900 was arguably Saab's single greatest car, using a clever transaxle system that mounted the gearbox directly under the engine.

We're delighted to offer this 1993 Saab 900 S 16v which looks to be in very good original condition. The vendor tells us that it benefits from full service history, and the photographs certainly suggest this Saab has experienced nothing but the utmost care and attention throughout its life.
