"This is the perfect car to buy, having been extremely well looked after and always kept in tip-top condition by its owner. Significant money has been spent on this car. It starts instantly and runs smoothly, with a great-sounding engine, especially from the 2-inch exhaust system. The gear shift is super easy, the brakes are solid, and the handling is excellent. It has been inspected until 2025-05-31 and is ready to drive with zero issues."

Description

This last model year of the Saab 96 is a Swedish-sold car with eight owners, though only three were actual users. The current owner, a dedicated Saab enthusiast, has owned many Saabs over the years and acquired this car in 2006. He embarked on a comprehensive renovation, despite the car being in good shape. Rust issues were addressed by stripping the car down, repairing, and welding until the bodywork was perfect, followed by a professional paint job.

The rebuild involved replacing all worn parts and reviewing major components such as the rear axle, gearbox, engine, electrics, suspension, brakes, and fuel system. Some notable upgrades include 32/36 Weber open carbs, an electric cooler fan, a side-mounted water expansion tank, and a 2-inch exhaust system, which enhance cooling, power, and sound.

The project was completed in 2013, and since then, the car has been consistently serviced, improved, and driven while being garaged during the winter. It is honestly one of the best Saab 96s I've seen, promising many years of trouble-free motoring ahead.

  • Mechanical condition

    There are zero issues to report; everything is in top running and working condition. The engine bay is well-organized, neat, and tidy. The "Football" alloy wheels have been re-milled and renovated for 10,000kr, and they are in excellent condition with good, newer tires.

    Interior is in superb and well-kept condition, featuring newer mats, door cards, and side panels. It is equipped with a Moto Lita steering wheel and an extra mounted rev counter. The seats, carpets, headliner, dashboard, and gauges are all in a great condition with no damages.

  • Exterior condition

    The bodywork is undamaged, with well-fitted panels and even panel gaps, and it is rust-free, including the underbody. The paintwork remains in top condition, with the window frames also repainted to match. Notable features include a USA grille, extra spotlights, and a cool factory-fitted boot spoiler. It is extremely hard to find any flaws with the exterior finish of the car.

  • General condition

    If your looking a fun and super relaible "turn key" Saab 96 then this is one to buy as it will give your years and years of trouble free motoring.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
