SAAB 99 Turbos


One of my old 99T there, after I'd let it go :(

All extras/non standard parts Airflow kit, GLE mirrors, wheels etc... were added during my ownership.

I had been looking for one for quite a while and saw one on ebay late last year. I noted £5200 was refused and it did not sell. I was not able to go and see it till later on , and it was as the seller described,so |I bought it. It has had a lot of money spent on it and it shows. It is not a perfect concours example but a very good and useable one which I am using several days a week. I intend to not to keep it too long as I wish to retry some of the cars I had in the past and reevaluate them against moderns. Sorry , but I do not understand how to post pictures.
