"These convertibles have previously been underrated and overshadowed by the Saab 900 OG. However, they have started to be appreciated by younger enthusiasts who have realized how cool, comfortable, and affordable they are. With a service check, a bit of polishing, and new brake discs, this one will be back on the road soon. It needs to go through inspection at the vehicle testing station. Since it is turning 30 years old, it will also become tax-exempt under vintage car regulations."

Description

Bilweb Auctions has been entrusted to sell the cars that were part of the collection at Saab Memorial Hall, Sweden's most charming little Saab museum.

Started by Norwegian Tron Bach, who moved to Sweden in 2011, the museum was a testament to his passion for Saab. After a busy life as a hotel owner, Tron relocated to a small farm in Gullsjö, Vännäs. There, he found a worn and dented Saab 92 behind the barn, which sparked the idea of starting a Saab museum to honor the Swedish cultural heritage of Saab—a car admired worldwide. Over the years, the museum has welcomed over 1000 visitors to this small northern town.

Now, feeling that it is time to retire, Tron has decided to close the museum on a high note. The museum will close around the time of the auction's conclusion, and until then, a visit is highly recommended. For more information, visit Saab Memorial Hall.

Note: Several cars in this auction are still inside the museum and require one of the walls to be dismantled for removal. This will be done when the museum closes, allowing buyers to collect their vehicles.

About the car:
Calling the New Generation 900 cooler than the Original Generation is almost blasphemous in the Saab community. Such a statement would cause older Saab enthusiasts at meets to become uneasy. Forget all the talk about the 900 NG essentially being an Opel Vectra. This used to be a sensitive topic in Saab circles, but the youth couldn't care less. They appreciate Saabs for their cool factor, affordability, and comfort—all of which apply to the 900 NG. So, if you're young in age, at heart, or both, this is the car for you.

This cabriolet was purchased by the owner of Saab Memorial Hall in 2015. After enjoying the car for a few summers, it became part of the museum's exhibits in 2018. The car was imported to Sweden in 2007 and has had 7 owners. The odometer reads just under 250,000 kilometers. The car comes with an instruction manual, previous inspection reports, a spare wheel, and a wheel wrench.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine is a 2.0-liter inline-four with an indicated output of 130hp. It has a five-speed manual transmission with front-wheel drive. The engine starts nicely and runs well. It was only test-driven a short distance during the photoshoot. The convertible top operates smoothly when opening and closing. There is surface rust on the brake discs. The car needs a service, an inspection, and a check-up at the vehicle testing station. The last inspection was in 2018. It also needs a new starter battery.

  • Interior condition:

    The car has a nice, well-fitted, high-quality seat cover installed. We checked the driver's seat backrest under the cover and found that the leather is worn (see picture). The rest of the leather upholstery has not been checked. The interior needs a thorough cleaning.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paint is in average condition for its age and mileage, with some blemishes. The front bumper has been touched up. There are scratches on the front and rear bumpers as well as the right door. Minor paint chips and stone chips are present (see pictures). A new soft top was installed in 2009, and it is in good condition. The car has 17-inch aluminum wheels.

  • General condition:

    Belonging to the now classic youngtimer models from Saab, this car features an attractive color combination of blue metallic with a blue soft top.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
