While bringing our Saab 9000 Aero back from Sydney, I called in on Bill and Jane P, some friends and Saab owners who live in southern New South Wales. When Bill’s Saab dealer closed a few years ago, Bill ended up as the beneficiary of a whole bunch of Saab promotional and technical material. Bill showed me through the collection […]
It’s the 1980s. There’s no internet so teenage petrolheads in Australia all read Wheels magazine to get their automotive kicks. There are all manner of car stories, interesting or otherwise, but as interesting as the stories might be, they are matched or sometimes outdone by the advertisements slotted in between them.

If you’re a Saab fan – especially if you’re a vintage Saab fan – then you MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO.

Last week I asked you whether Saab owners were changing brands, holding on to their Saabs and/or waiting for NEVS to release either a revised Saab 9-3 or an electric Saab.

It’s been almost 14 months since Saab Automobile AB went into bankruptcy prior to being sold by the receivers to NEVS. 14 months is a long time. Thousands of leases would have become due around the world and other potential buyers would have shopped the brand in that time if it were still around. I’m interested to see if Saab
My hopelessly rushed and feeble closing post from Inside Saab. Done in a rush, but at least it got done. —— Hi all, It’s been a quiet few days here on the site, basically because there’s no communications coming my way, nothing to say, and permission needed before I relate that nothingness to you anyway. All communications are now the
