Thanks for reposting this, sadly, it just makes it all the more real it’s going. I’m in the process of buying another older Saab though, can’t have less than 2 Saabs.
Great blog by the way, always nice to find others loving Saabs so much still.
Thanks Paul, as you know, SAAB is a great passion ;)
That is one serious piece of kit. I wonder how many penalty points come free with it once you buy it as I suspect it would be hard to keep it under the speed limit.
Hope to see SAAB come. To do so the obvious that no one wants to deal with is it will only have a chance of survival with an all new car line up, quality, and low pricing.
