Vehicle Description
Welcome to the sale of this Saab 900 T 16S Convertible, believed to be one of only 15 left in the UK . The car was MOT’d up until January 2012, we assume that it has been off the road since then, consequently it now requires full restoration.

Drivetrain
The car is mechanically complete and the engine starts and runs, the auto box selects drive and reverse and the brakes do function. We haven’t test driven it for obvious reasons but all the fundamentals are there. It will of course need everything checking over and refreshing as it hasn’t been run for 11 years prior to us getting the car but there appears to be nothing catastrophically wrong with the drivetrain.

Body and Chassis
The shell is quite rusty throughout, especially the off side rear ¼ panel and the lower sections of the doors but the floors appear to be intact and most of the panel work is solid. The classic Saab Turbo 3 spoke wheels are all ok it is just missing its badges, the trim around the rear edge of the hood and a headlight.

The Interior
Inside the Saab is in need of some refurbishment, the carpets are missing and the door cards are scruffy, however, the leather upholstery is not in bad condition and the dashboard, steering wheel, switches and instruments all look good.

Documentation, Keys and Spares
We have the keys but no V5 for the car, this will have to be applied for. We do have a clear HPi report showing the car was registered on the 3rd November 1989 and to have had 6 previous owners

Summary
It has been said that Saab doesn’t build cars, it builds Saabs!!! And there’s probably no better way to sum up the extraordinary Swedish firm and its pre-GM products and this is a rare opportunity to restore one of its scarcest models . It does require complete restoration but what a rewarding project it would be!
As with all our restoration projects, we have described this vehicle honestly and with transparency allowing you to make an informed decision.
We also highly recommend that you come and view the car, which can be done by appointment at our Tewkesbury HQ, Mon -Sat. Alternatively we can offer video calling and arrange nationwide delivery on your behalf with one of our trusted insured transport partners.
