Sunday Scramble Saab Carlsson

The Sunday Scramble at Bicester Heritage has fast become a mecca for both national and international classic car enthusiasts and petrolheads. It has quickly gained momentum and yesterday's inaugural gathering saw literally thousands of exceptional vehicles heading for the ex RAF airfield to share their passion.

Wandering around the vast hangers, workshops and open spaces, full of every conceivable marque, I came across an exceptionally rare sight - a genuinely original Saab 900 Carlsson, and it was getting plenty of attention.

"These things are so much fun, they go like rockets" "I once knew someone who knew someone who owned one of these, best car they ever had" and numerous other overheard conversations, but what was obvious is the lasting positive perception of these amazing Saabs.

Solid black with super rare full Carlsson bodykit including front and rear bumpers and the larger rear spoiler, immaculate red Carlsson pinstripe detailing and the original Carlsson leather steering wheel. What made this one all the more attractive is it was obviously loved and used properly, no garage queen, just enjoyed as it should be.

Would have loved to see some Carlsson Super Aero alloys on there, but other than that, perfection.
