The Attractions
We really miss Saab. This historic Swedish car manufacturer, now sadly no longer active, never conformed to the rules. Saabs were unconventional in every way, and this made them cars of great appeal.
All 9-3s were equipped with turbocharged engines - a real tradition for Saab - and this example from 2003 is equipped with the popular 2.0-litre petrol engine. The seller informed us that it has always been maintained with great care and has received a lot of attention, including the installation of eight new pistons for the canvas roof opening mechanism. The overhaul is valid until September 2025 and four new tyres have been fitted in anticipation of the sale.
