I haven’t written anything for a few months; a combination of feeling a bit down, getting a bunch of lowlifes commenting on the work i’ve done with some recent Saabs and generally a lack of inspiration to keep rescuing Saabs with absolutely no return. But, of course the love for Saabs doesn’t diminish, and as fate / luck would have it, a number of very special ones had been offered to me in the space of a few days, every cloud as they say.

One of these, was a Silver 9000 Aero, Rocky Black leather, super Aero alloys and just 107,000 miles. Its last owner has had it for the past 12 years, but over the past few has left the Saab unused. Although very clean, it has a lot to focus on; oil leaks, faulty sensors, loose belts, cracked tyres etc, but overall has the potential to be a wonderful example of this amazing car.

It has a little rust on the inner rear quarters which will be welded, it needs a new front passenger wing, dents removed and the rear bumper has a slight crack that needs welding. Other than that, it needs a load of tlc, cleaning, polishing and maybe a few enhancements.
