Hi Moo. Sorry late reply. Certainly 2nd dibs to you. Will keep you informed. In some ways reading these comments I wish I had the space and time as would keep it. Saabs are one of the coolest brands around. A perfect Q car/sleeper πŸ‘


I'm sure. You could always have a rethink. It's a cracking car. Thumbs Up

Scotland 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 Base 7 Seat Auto Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

Another former Saab owner here! One thing I miss is the way the cabin air system made these little "pop" sounds when you changed the settings and the vacuum switches operated. That and the reassuringly solid clunk when you shut the doors.

More worryingly, I have just searched the DVLA for the reg of the 1984 Saab 900 that I scrapped about 20 years ago and see that it is listed as being on a SORN. It was definitely scrapped, but I remember getting a car-tax reminder from DVLA and having to sort with them the fact that it had been scrapped. I'm wondering if I am still the registered keeper and all they did back then was shift me to a SORN? Shocked
 Previously:

β€˜93 Defender 110 200TDi CSW - still got this, non-runner on SORN.
β€˜87 Defender 90 4 cyl Petrol
β€˜83 110 CSW V8 - best ever!
Range Rover 2-door V8 (not sure of year - 4-speed box and vacuum diff switch)
Series III SWB Diesel

Thanks to Garwood56 the old Swede has a new home!

Quick drive up the road with an MOT booked tomorrow we had a friendly and thorough handover with a quick admire of the cairnes blue D3 Laughing

The Saab cruised home with no dramas and my son is very excited for this project and we have it on loan until he needs it no more and then it will be offered back to Garwood56 Bow down Bow down

Great story and a lovely car, Nick. Thumbs Up

Best wishes to your son as he starts his Mechanical Engineering course at Uni.

Always wanted a 9-5 HOT Aero estate, myself. Still probably the most comfortable seats of any car I travelled in.

Certainly not the "boring dentist's cars" that Clarkson labelled them. Laughing

Nice, hope he enjoys it. They are super easy to work on.

Also love the daft but quirky centre ignition switch and locking it in reverse to move the key.

Old its gone to a good home. Thumbs Up

Cheers FF and great to meet up. I know your son will love it and I look forward to buying it back when he’s finished Uni πŸ˜‚

Finally this has actually been a great forum entry and thanks for all the comments. It appears quite a few forum members have previously owned and love a Saab. Have a good weekend all πŸ‘
