| 1993 SAAB
900 INJECTION 16 VALVE CONVERTIBLE Talladega Red - Dover Grey Velour 3 Previous Owners BKZ 2461 First registered 15.01.1993 by Brecks Saab and incredibly still wearing its original dealer supplied plates front to rear. Can be described as a very tidy original and useable Saab with a sweet engine with a very well preserved interior, clean paint work soft top and engine bay. Setting this car apart is its original unaltered condition, this is not a restored Saab, it even has the original supplied Sony radio. Its been well maintaned with only 3 previous and a thick file of paperwork. The most recent owner from York has owned it for the last 18 years. It has covered a mere 139000 miles which is very little in Saab 900 terms. This is the final year of production prior to GM taking over the manufacturing process, its the very last of the best. The current MOT is valid until 7th June 2020. The Saab 900 Cult The classic world is at last waking up to the classic Saab, like all the real Saab's its as timeless now as it was then, and they were the real deal. Classic cars come and go but the appeal of some remains constant and none more so than the 900 - the last real Saab say some of the marque's cognoscenti. Think of it as a time-warped Sixties swinger but with MTV street cred and a style and look that was as unique as Citroen's. All of which is why the last Saab 900 - manufactured until 1993 - became an instant classic upon its demise, and remains a sought after though little remembered classic as yet, though time has a habit of changing things. Owning a late model Saab 900 is an easy way to being different and this modern classic is one that anyone would be deeply proud to be the next custodian, its ready to be used and enjoyed and stored with sympathy, and would be the envy of any Saab show it entered. With values of young timer Fords Vauxhalls Mercs and Bmws rising, this is a bit different and is a model that has a proper depth to the build quality and engineering, one of the coolest cult cars ever made. Chassis no : YS3AC75D8N7013683 Engine Number : B20213M02N353984 History File Rather a lot of paperwork. A glean through it says its been cared for, a summary of the most recent works are listed below. Also has a comprehensive MOT history. The paper bills span the last 14 years. It also has a Haynes workshop manual and a Haynes service and repair manual. - Thermostat kit - Cylinder head gasket - New head bolt set - Manifold gaskets replaced - Other exhaust gaskets replaced - New starter motor - New clutch - Clutch release bearing replaced - Clutch slave cylinder and hose pipe - Camshaft cover gaskets replaced - Catalytic convertor replaced - CV boot kit - Exhaust replaced 1500 miles ago - New convertible top fitted 2008 Cabin/ Roof The interior of the 900 is awash with period velour, emitting an unforgettable aroma that takes you back in time. The chairs remain in excellent condition and supportive in a way seats will never be again. The rear seats look unused. The mohair hood folds electrically in a matter of seconds and folds back up with equal pace. Its in good condition with a proper rear glass screen that is heated. Engine The engine bay presents remarkably well and is consistent with a car having been well cared for. Saab Innovation Things like the world's first side impact bars, the first pollen and pollution filter for the cabin air system, and windscreen pillars made of 2.5mm rolled steel, were all unique Saab traits. Lift up the carpet and you will find box section steel beams like no other car, reinforcing the floor. The 900 was so far ahead in safety terms at its 1979 launch that it stayed safe until its discontinuation in 1993 after nearly a million cars were made. Driving the Saab 900 is a world away from today's flat-screened greenhouses. You sit deep behind a unique curved windscreen with a dashboard that rolls away for acres. The windscreen is slot-like and your knees go under the fascia - not over it. It is more like sitting in a deep Victorian cast iron bath.
