One of the wonderful things about our global Saab community is its ability to bring people together, to create common bonds and lifelong friends. I first met Ward a number of years ago, as he often followed the stories here on Saabvs. Based in the Netherlands, we plan on meeting up when I finally get our road trip to Stockholm sorted, but in the mean time, we continue to talk often about our shared love for not only Saabs, but cars in general, food, wine, architecture and life. I quite honestly feel privileged to have met so many people and especially proud to have inspired Ward to start the newly founded Saab 900 Club.

Ward set up House of Swedish Cars to honour all amazing Nordic creations, but especially Saabs, more recently he’s established the classic 900 Club, a way for us all to recored as many of these iconic Saabs as possible. Yes, it features global locations, mileage and wonderful stories, but it also features a gallery of inspiration for anyone dreaming of owning and maintaining a classic 900.

From a factory perfect early 900 8v Turbo to an impeccable 900 T16S, iconic Inca wheels to louvers, gorgeous Burgundy leather interiors and luscious caramel convertibles, you’ll spend hours flicking though them all. In its first few months, the Club has already attracted close to 100 members, but with some 53,000 known as registered worldwide (and counting), there’s still plenty more of these beautiful Saabs to include.

I can’t congratulate Ward enough for this new club, I just hope I’ll have another classic 900 Turbo at some point, so I can also join its hallowed pages.

If you own a classic 900, it’d be great to see it added to the club, you’ll find more about it here.
