Vehicle Description
Welcome to the sale of this rare 1972 Saab 99. It has the uprated for 1972, 1850 engine and is showing 73180 miles recorded. The car was MOT’d up until December 2012, we assume that it has been off the road since then, consequently it now requires full restoraration.

Drivetrain
The car is complete and the engine turns over, it will fire up with some easy start but wont run on its own, the clutch operates and the car will go into all gears. It will of course need a complete mechanical overhaul but there appears to be nothing catastrophically wrong. Also as it is basically a Triumph engine, parts are cheap and fairly plentiful.

Body and Chassis
The shell is quite rusty but the floors appear to be intact and most of the panel work is solid. The boot floor has rotted quite badly in the corners where the inner rear arches meet and the rear ¼ panels will require some work. On the plus side all badges and trim are present and correct and it rolls an a set of original Saab / Ronal mini light style alloys.

The Interior
Inside the Saab is in remarkably good condition for a car that has been off the road for such an extended period of time. It is all complete, with only the carpets and the door cards needing replacement. The rest would need the clean of its life but all very saveable.

Documentation, Keys and Spares
We have the keys and V5, which shows 4 previous owners
