Made in Sweden, the Gen 1 and 2 Saab 9-5 had a purity of design the later models lost a little, this one has spent most of its life in the Royal town of Leamington Spa where it has been fastidiously looked after and serviced by Saab specialists.

I've been lusting after a 9-5 wagon for a few years, but the right one never came along, until I saw this one, it had super low milage at just 81,000, it was in a rare colour; Hazelnut Metallic and it had a gorgeously luxurious Sand leather interior together with a rare glass sunroof and light Walnut dashboard. It's also an automatic, which I truly believe suits these 9-5 wagons to perfection, they're just ridiculously comfortable cruisers that are utterly timeless in style.

As usual, it has undergone a rigorous maintenance check by Malcolm Miles Saab Specialists, with all perished hoses changed and a number of pressure pipes renewed together with a general overhaul to ensure continued reliability, the sump was also been dropped, cleaned and replaced with new gaskets and bolts. The brake callipers have all been removed, cleaned and fitted with new disks and pads all round and suspension upgraded with Bilstein B8 shocks and Eibach lowered springs and a beautiful set of 19x8.5 Japan Racing JR18 Matt Bronze alloys with Pirelli P Zero 235/35/19 tyres all round to finish it all off perfectly.

A bespoke 3” stainless steel downpipe has been commissioned from APH Performance and coupled with a full stainless steel Jetex exhaust system which has the rare twin backbox, these together with a DO88 intercooler, large intake pipes, BSR filter and numerous other replacements, the Saab now offers a refined 300hp and makes it an exceptional car to own and drive - beautifully comfortable on long journeys and ridiculous fun on country roads with ample power to embarrass plenty of newer executive wagons.

Being 18 years old, it has some very minor marks which I feel are part of the Saab’s story, and whilst the bodywork presents beautifully, older 95s suffer from the odd areas of rust near the base of the rear wheel arches, these have been cut out, rewelded and repainted, the earlier front bumper has been replaced with an iconic Shark bumper from a 2005 model and a genuine Saab rear roof spoiler added. A discreet satin black grille with the bespoke satin black lower grille make it a rather unique wagon, the car has also been fully de-badged and a single Hirsch emblem added.

This is an exceptional Saab Aero wagon, and just such a superb cruiser, the colour sets it apart whilst the wheels, stance and exhaust just give it an undeniably sexy edge on an already individual car. This Café Racer wagon will now give many more years of Saab smiles and is one hell of a lot of car for the price.

The spend has been circa £7k to keep this beautiful Saab Aero on the road, so offers fantastic value at £6000, they’re are actually getting harder to find now, so don’t wait.

*All Aeroriginal Saabs have a Gentleman’s Agreement of a 3 month, £500 mechanical warranty which will always need to be under the capable care of Malcolm Miles Saab.
This is paid by me directly and reinforces my belief in just how great older Saabs are.
