Saabs at the Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car Show
If you’re into classic cars and you don’t read Hemmings, you should. It’s that simple. It’s not just that it’s the bible when it comes to collectible automobiles, but some of the editors there have a real affection for Swedish metal, and Saabs in particular, so ‘our’ cars receive some very nice coverage every now and then.

Brief notes from IntSaab 2011
The slow rate of entries from IntSaab was due to the vast amount of activity. Right now I’m sitting on a ship, heading away from Turku, Finland, towards Stockholm. The Saab 9-4x is tucked away safely in the belly of this ship and will enjoy another run from Stockholm to Trollhattan tomorrow (It’s averaging 11L per 100km for those who

Greetings from IntSaab 2011
Finland! What a place. The language is from another planet, but the countryside and the people are magnificent and I’m soooooo very happy that I’ve finally made it to an IntSaab event.

At the Saab Owners Club GB annual meet – Part 2
Yesterday we covered some of the older cars at the Saab Owners Club GB annual meetup at Haydock Racecourse. Today, we’re looking at the 1980’s and onwards. The cars of this generation are those that will likely be more familiar to the modern Saab enthusiast and the vehicles on show were just as beautifully maintained and presented as the older

There were a few of the same cars
