For sale- 2002 Saab 93 se turbo, 5 speed manual. 5 door, silver, 10 months mot

 

 

Looks tidy, some small scuffs etc as per age of car. Worst bit is son bubbling on the leading edge of the rear arches as pictured, other than a few alloy wheel scuffs it’s tidy and looked after. Tyres all good tread. Inside part leather, upgraded stereo, again very tidy. Climate works , driver’s heated seat doesn’t. Drives well, 185bhp so nice and brisk. The airbag light sometimes stays on, other times not.

I'm fairly confident this is the first time that HMCBjorn has advertised a car on one day, and still had it for sale on the next.

 

I are disappoint.

 

GLWS man.

Ha ha true!

235bhp out this with a remap..

Bargain.

Would also recommend seller!

It’s the 185 variant but I must say it feels faster than I was expecting!

i would, but I have hit my fleet maximum of 3 when all the comings and goings have happened.

 

 

For others interested, FJ just quoted me a reasonable amount on a classic policy for it.

FFS, two of the cars on my bucket list in one day from the same seller for pocket money (Micra and this) and I want them both, but can have neither due to fleet max limit.

 

Swap for a PT Cruiser with a week's MoT ? Thought not.

The Vantman-Holbeck 900 comes with a huge about of history. One chap bought it new and held onto it for at least 20 yrs. He kept all paperwork. Have a look at the 1990/91 sales invoice.....

About 32k today. The air con option would now cost (a cool) £2k

Pimptastic in black/red leather, it’s nice to own an Alfa again. I came close to owning the 156 breadvan v6 but finally I’ve got one! Current plans are to listen to the engine note and perhaps think about a belt change.

In case anyone is wondering, the heart shaped tile with the name Chris on it came with the car when I bought it, along with a ton of rizlas and a lighter...

What with a cambelt change being a high priority, I got distracted by the threadbare steering wheel and gear knob.

Unimportant, but then again as the most tactile connection to the car, the old one was not exactly La dolce vita.

That’s better. Where were we? Oh yeah that cambelt change....

Anyone fancy a swap- What have you for the ex vantman Holbeck Saab 900?

 

I’ll put up some more pics but searching their old threads should bring it up. It’s a less common Finnish built example, some say they are constructed to a higher standard. It’s certainly in great condition apart from faded paint and a scuffed wheel arch. Mot to December, thoroughly waxoyled and with a new set of Michelin cross climate all season tyres fitted. Having crawled around rustproofing it I can report the driveshaft tunnels, jacking points etc are all sound. There is bubbling on that lower inner door skin bit (TADDS) Professionally replaced headlining, no sunroof (big bonus IMO) interior excellent but for a cracked dash top (tadds) It’s a 2.0 16v automatic and has full history from new (1 guy had bought it from Viking Saab, had it 15 years and everything from the vehicle order onwards is here), 63k miles (very low for one of these)
