She's a Keeper

December 15, 2021 Eleven

A couple of weeks ago I got an excited message from a very good Saab friend over in Maastricht, Netherlands; his girlfriend had treated him to a brand new, genuine Saab, two tone leather interior for his beloved Saab convertible.

The retrimming was carried out by Velteck Saab and they’ve done an absolutely exceptional job. The entire interior was removed, stripped down, refurbished and cleaned were necessary and the new covers fitted. Originally just a single colour, the addition of the two tome leather really gives the Saab a lift and now looks like a new car.

“It was a present from my girlfriend, very special! I’m so happy with it, It feels like a new car, so fresh”.

Not only did Ward leave with a beautiful new interior, he also purchased yet another Saab that Valteck had for sale “they had a beautiful 9-3 Aero Estate 2.8T V6 Hirsch for sale, imported from Switzerland. Always serviced at Saab Hirsch Ruckstuhl. Very nice condition. Very nice car. So I bought it”

A man after my own heart, well done Ward for keeping up the great work, I’d say both your girlfriend and the Saab convertible are keepers.

Way back when Saab launched the exceptional Monte Carlo Yellow 900 T16 S, I’ve loved yellow convertibles, not least this absolutely spectacular 9-3 from Spain. My friend @saabfreak666 recently posted it and I just couldn’t resist the temptation to share it and make everyone’s day a bit happier.

‘Lynx Yellow, Hirsch grill, complete Turbo X package including rear diffuser and exhaust, 20” Turbo X wheels from STR Forged Wheels and a nice set of ice cube taillights finish it off to perfection’

It’s always a privilege to share Saabs from around the globe, especially ones that are obviously loved and exceptionally well cared for. This beautiful 9-3 SE convertible spends its life in the warmth of Cape Town, South Africa.

According to its owner, Kurt ‘The original owner cheated and didn't buy an Aero, but chose the larger Turbo Aero spec together with a wooden and leather steering wheel, leather gear stick and all the pretty stuff, god bless him’.

With its utterly original specification including 15” three spoke ALU20 wheels it’s a thing of beauty and I can only imagine how it feels to drive along the West Coast Road toward Grooto Bay, roof down and enjoying the warm South African air.
