"Recently taken out of a long-term storage garage, this car has been cleaned and is now easily mobile. However, it has not been started in 10 years and will require a thorough inspection, overhaul, and renovation before it can be deemed roadworthy. Please note that it has not been tested by BWA."

Description

This Saab Turbo was originally purchased by its current female owner in 1990 and was last driven in 1997, after which it underwent its last inspection/MOT before being stored away. The Saab 99 Turbo was first introduced in 1978, with 100 pre-production models built the previous year in 1977. However, this particular car is a 1977 model fitted with a Saab Turbo engine, Inca alloy wheels, and turbo interior.

Only a little over 100 five-door 99 Turbos were produced in 1978, and they were exclusively available in Cardinal Red, just like this one. Adding to the car's unusual history, it was registered in 1978 with a replacement engine. Unfortunately, Saab heritage records do not exist for these early Turbo models, so the story behind this replacement engine cannot be verified. Nevertheless, this car remains a rare and remarkable find, and is definitely worth preserving and renovating. Additionally, it comes with plenty of older paperwork and a handbook.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    All of the components under the bonnet are present, but the car has not been tested or started for over a decade. As a result, a complete overhaul, service, and inspection will be necessary to get it back on the road. The car also comes with a full set of Inca Alloy wheels, although they are fitted with older tires.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior of the car is fully intact, complete with Turbo instrumentation and dashboard that shows no signs of cracked plastic. The seats have always been covered with red seat covers, but upon removing the front covers, the original seats appear to be in good condition and are fully intact. The carpets and door cards are in good shape and standard hanging headliner. A 1980s sky port sunroof has been retrofitted to the car.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is complete and straight and has been partly repainted at some point. The lower edges and the door and floors have older welding work and general scratches and blister can be found around the bodywork, The main rust issues can be found around the upper and lower sills, inner door arches and underbody "see pictures" The cars needs a full body renovaton and repaint. The owner mentioned that the pervouis owner replaced the bootlid, the older one had the rubber spoiler.

  • General condition:

    This car represents a unique and interesting piece of Saab history, and it would be a worthwhile investment for a dedicated Saab enthusiast to devote their time and money towards its renovation. By doing so, this car can be preserved for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
