"Last inspected in 1990, the car has been stored in a garage for 33 years. After a basic startup service with external fuel supply, the engine runs, and the car rolls freely. To complete its restoration, it needs a full brake service, a new battery, clutch cylinder replacement, hose and exhaust replacements, and a thorough servicing. After these steps, it'll be ready for its final inspection."

Description

This car was originally sold to the owner's mother and has spent its entire life in Göteborg. In 1990, the son inherited it with the intention of making it his daughter's daily driver, but she did not share the enthusiasm for owning or driving a Saab. Consequently, the car was parked and garaged for 33 years until we collected it and transported it to our depot.

Upon performing the startup service, the engine successfully ran; however, it does require a full engine overhaul. While there are minor surface rust spots scattered across the bodywork and a dent in the front wing, there are no major rust issues, and the underbody remains clean and solid without requiring any welding work. The interior and boot space are remarkably well-preserved and in original condition, retaining the same clocks and dials as the earlier 96 2-stroke engine models.

This car presents an excellent opportunity for restoration, with the primary focus on ensuring it becomes fully drivable, paving the way for its final inspection. While the exterior would benefit from a repaint, none of the bodywork issues will impede the inspection process.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine is successfully started and running, and the car rolls freely; however, it's currently not drivable and will need a comprehensive review and overhaul. Fortunately, new and high-quality used parts are readily available and reasonably priced. Additionally, the supportive Saab community on Facebook is always ready to lend a helping hand.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior of the car is best described as being in a great condition, with only minor signs of wear and absolutely no damage. It requires no work whatsoever, just a simple cleaning to bring out its full shine.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car exhibits minor surface rust spots and a dent in the front wings, both repairable without welding or body replacement. The underbody is solid with no additional work needed, except for a welding repair on the right corner of the inner panel under the boot lid. The chrome work, wheels, and hubcaps are in good condition, and the tires, though older, remain functional.

  • General condition:

    This car represents an excellent restoration project, offering the opportunity to preserve and enjoy a classic Saab with just two owners and low mileage.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
