The Appeal
Few manufacturers over the last 40 years have been as adept at building handsome, well-proportioned convertibles as Saab. Bizarrely for a manufacturer hailing from the lands of snowfall that lasts for months and winter days with about 7 minutes of sunlight, Saab proved to be fantastic at building stylish, reliable, everyday drop-tops. And here in the UK we lapped them up.
Sadly they are increasingly rare or tired these days, so we’re truly delighted to be able to present this beautifully maintained and well presented example for sale. Benefitted from a very smart specification and some choice optional extras, this is the ideal modern classic for anyone who loves to grab every possible second of sunshine. Cherished by its owner, this suave soft-top is now ready to move on to pastures new…

The Interior
- Factory option two-tone grey leather upholstery, with extra optional Hirsh Nappa leather to the interior handles and handbrake
- All of the leather looks to be in very good order, with some light creasing and evidence of use, but no real wear and certainly no damage we could see
- The vendor tells us they have had a new OEM gear knob and gaiter fitted
- Dark grey carpets with complementary floor mats bedeck the floors and present very nicely, with no notable wear or staining apparent
- Electric windows and door mirrors
- Hands-free phone connectivity
- CD/radio system with Aux connection
- Dual zone air conditioning
- Iconic Saab “night panel” function
- The boot is generous, fitted with dark grey carpet and a rubber floor liner which both look to be in fine fettle
- Under the carpet is a spacesaver spare wheel, and the wheel well itself appears to be in good order, with no significant corrosion and no damage we could identify
- The vendor reports no faults or problems with any of the cabin’s functions
The Exterior
- Jet Black Metallic paintwork, presenting in very nice condition, with no pronounced marks or scuffs we could see
- The vendor notes that they have had the paintwork professionally machine polished
- The bodywork of the car looks very nice – clean and straight with no damage or corrosion we could discern
- Similarly, the external badging, trim and brightwork looks to be complete and maintained to a fine standard
- The electrically operated black fabric roof shows very well, with no UV damage, sagging or tearing we could distinguish
- We can see that the underside looks to be in very good condition, clean and undamaged with no notable corrosion we could detect
- We’re told by the vendor that they have had the multi-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels refurbished during their ownership, although we not there is some kerb damage to the lips
The Mechanics
- Although badged as a 1.8t, the car runs a factory-fitted 2-litre turbocharged, four-cylinder engine
- From the factory the car develops 150bhp
- Five-speed manual transmission
- Front-wheel drive
- Power assisted steering
- Anti-lock braking system
- Traction control
- Cruise control
- The vendor reports no faults or mechanical problems at all
Summary
With a very fine service record, low mileage and long MOT, we think this cosseted and well-specified 9-3 would make for a very fine daily classic, or as something to tuck away for when the weather is nice. Either way, we’re sure the next owner will enjoy many years of happy ‘wind in the hair’ motoring…
