Looks quite nice. I have a feeling this will be another one that goes quickly cheaply then appears with a big mark up elsewhere.

It will require some works on the bonnet etc...before it is remarketed.

But I daresay your right.

Having owned a few of these those arch extensions are likely hiding a lot of rot.

He says the original steering wheel is in the boot but nothing about the wheels. I am far from sure those are genuine Saab wheels, which is a shame. Clearly the bonnet needs work but I agree the wheel arches could be in a bad way, one reason I have never liked body kits, they can hide too much. No indication from the photographs as to what is wrong with the passenger door. From experience I would be wary about the heated seats, the ones on my A reg 900 Turbo 8V gave up after just over three years and that is over 30.

The state of the wiper arms is also a possible indication that all is not well corrosion wise. It would also be nice to know what was needed to get it through the MoT. As I suspected, corrosion! Suspension mounts all round. I’d want a very close look at the repairs before even considering it.

As above, star directional.

Introduced as a 9000 option, but of course will fit later C900.

Looking at the bid history on both auctions, there was one bidder pushing it up to the £5k mark on both auctions.

Could have been a genuine bidder with a £5k limit, or not.
