Highly original example
Very attractive colour scheme

The Appeal

Saab continues to be one of the biggest losses to modern motoring out there. There was a beautiful rebellion to how they conducted themselves - sadly, that niche appeal was also their undoing. Their quirky, often oddly archaic design language was boosted by that famous Swedish build quality. Their Saab 900S Turbo is one of those modern classics that rubs shoulders with BMWs and Jags from the same era, boasting plentiful performance, a rather impressive American Sunroof Company hood and distinctive, long-nosed styling.

This fine example is bound to attract an enthusiast's attention - and for good reason. With a very desirable colour scheme, a plentiful service history and plenty of money recently spent, it's a highly presented prospect - and a great gateway into one of motoring's most characterful and much-missed marques.
