The Appeal

Known for their durability and now iconic status, the Sabb 900 was launched in 1978 and enjoyed a 15-year production run. Extremely well built, even over-engineered, with their aircraft inspired cabin and curved windscreen, the models post 1987 were even better, offering further refinement in a car with serious amounts of character. While the car was improved slightly after the facelift, the shape didn’t really change too much and for very good reason.

With engines that have soldiered on beyond half a million miles far from uncommon – these beauties don’t just look the business; they are super reliable if well looked after. This is one of the later models to roll off the Saab production line before GM took over. A 2.0 litre LPT (Low Pressure Turbo) with a full-service history and a handful of careful owners in its past, it’s a gem of a car and you would be hard pushed to find one in the country with such low mileage today.

Purchased in 2019 by the current owner and garaged throughout his ownership, it is now being sold to slim down the current
collection.

The Summary

A quick look online will reveal that there are a good few of these cars still around, and happily motoring on, many with several hundred thousand miles on the clock. To find one with such low mileage is exceptionally rare and this represents a fantastic opportunity to grab a slice of automotive history, and will likely have huge appeal to the collectors out there or indeed anyone that likes to drive in style.
