Saabfesten brings its collaborative Saab gathering format to Norway on August 29, 2025. The venue is Vålerbanen near Elverum - a permanent circuit with a spacious exhibition area, active track, and on-site accommodation. Saab clubs across Scandinavia are invited to participate.
A Norwegian car magazine set out to portrait convertible enthusiasts of all makes - and buried inside, a Saab family from Sandefjord reminded us why the Cabriolet has always been in a class of its own. From a father test-driving a yellow Aero V6 in Dubai to daughters keeping two Saabs alive back home in Norway, the Urheim family story is just one thread in a much larger tapestry: three strangers in England united by identical red 9-3s, a Dutch community of 2,000 members, and a decades-old Consumer Reports observation that Saab convertible owners spend more time with their tops down than drivers of any other ragtop. Some cars transport you. The Saab Cabriolet does something else entirely.
Saab production may have ended in 2011, but in Norway, the brand’s warmth and resilience endure. Meet the enthusiasts who keep the turbo humming through the cold.
A 1992 Saab 900 Turbo S Aero Cabriolet with 227,000 km is now offered in Norway for €17,000. Carefully maintained by a former Saab dealer, it raises the question: is this high-mileage classic a smart collector’s buy or an overpriced gamble?
Once a stronghold for Saab, Norway now faces a steep decline in registered vehicles, with fewer than 10,000 Saabs left on the road. From nearly 40,000 in the early 2010s, the fleet has shrunk by 75% in just over a decade. Harsh winters, rust, scrappage incentives, and parts shortages are accelerating the brand’s disappearance. Enthusiasts fight to keep the legacy alive, but the numbers tell a sobering story.
