"Nice, carefully well-maintained and a noticeably representative 99 from an interesting and important year."

Description

The car was delivered new in April 1974 to a very conscientious man in the Alingsås area. He had the car rustproofed so thoroughly that the current owner had to sanitize the luggage compartment just to be able to use it. In addition, the car was not even exposed to rain and especially not winter weather by this first owner, whom we now have to thank for preserving a representative and slightly rarer 99 with both automatic transmission and four doors. He sold it in June 1999 to a man without the same sense of order and awareness. This person used the car a bit more roughly for a few months during one summer and autumn hence a couple of minor damages - and the current owner was fortunately and coincidentally able to quickly save the car from an assumed imminent demise. Since then, it has been cared for according to the first owner's model with only sparing use during the summer months. The car has an "abnormal mileage history" according to the database, but it is due to an incorrect odometer reading during an inspection, where it was recorded as miles instead of kilometres. The verified and correct mileage today is 49171 kilometres.

Facts about the model

SAAB 99 tillverkades mellan 1968 och 1984 och fick 1972 en vidarekonstruerad och starkare tvålitersmaskin som ersättning till den – får man ändå säga – inlånade Triumphmotorn som suttit i se'n introduktionen. 1974 förbättrades säkerhetsutrustningen med bland annat de nya stötfångarna som egentligen dikterades av amerikanska säkerhetskrav. Trots att SAAB 99 var en populär bil i Sverige och resten av Europa, lyckades den inte riktigt slå igenom på den amerikanska marknaden. Den var oavsett en milstolpe för SAAB, och den banade vägen för många av företagets senare modeller, inklusive SAAB 900 som blev en större succé. SAAB 99 var en symbol för svensk kvalitet och innovation och dess betydelse för svensk bilindustri kan inte överskattas.

  • 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.
