SiC Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 It may still to come but one big notable exception to your fleet, especially as a Saab enthusiast, is any form of Saab 9-5. Both first and second gen. Also another missing vehicle is a beavertail/recovery truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabnut Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 It may still to come but one big notable exception to your fleet, especially as a Saab enthusiast, is any form of Saab 9-5. Both first and second gen. Also another missing vehicle is a beavertail/recovery truck! Saab 9-5 = too modern. Had one briefly, and was looking for another when the 9-3 came up. Only room for one decent modern. Beavertail/recovery truck? I refer you to the Solstad Saab Biltransport (Bil is Swedish for car!). Anything too big or heavy goes behind the P38 on the Ifor Williams. Must point out the rated max load of the Solstad is 1600kg, more than a Transit sized transporter. Lacquer Peel and SiC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Of course, I wasn't thinking outside the box enough! Also lost track. Still surprised you haven't got the 9-5 and even a 9-3 over one. The 9-3 often said to not be a "proper Saab", unlike the 9-5 which still has a shred of old school Saab in it from its 9000 parts base. Plenty of non-decent 9-5 around too if that's a requirement.

Justin Case Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Number 51 - and the last one for tonight. I will take pictures of the rest (not many) and the non car shite tomorrow and finish the additions (for now!) to the thread. This is a rare 1990 Saab 900 T16S 2 door. Very few were made of the 2 door with the full body kit and performance upgrades. LPG conversion but knackered engine. The engine from the scrap convertible posted earlier is destined for this one. Awaiting its turn.A friend in my Saabing days had one exactly the same as a company car as they wouldn't run to a Carlsson. Perhaps he wasn't the only one, but does yours have a Staffordshire registartion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabnut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 OK, final installment of the shite for now. If the weather is kind and I can find the time (ie if the poxy P38 does not take too long to fix) I will take pictures of the non vehicle shite around my place. For now, the last of the shite actually at my place Number 52 - 1995ish Saab 9000. A Latvian registered LHD auto with LPG conversion. I bought it for the winter tyres and a few LPG bits it had on it, the auto box had failed and the owner wanted rid of it quickly but needed to keep the plates and ID so he could scrap it at home. There is very little left on this now, so is first in the queue for the bridge. Sigmund Fraud, DeeJay, Mr Laurence and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabnut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 And now, the first of the ones in temporary residence elsewhere. Number 53 - a 1972 Saab 99, the Chavmeister. Fitted with a T16 conversion and all sorts of trickery, running about 250bhp but, under the shiny paint and plastic, not a lot! This is in Bristol awaiting the white 99 bodyshell to be rebuilt into it, and the not insubstantial funds to pay for it!

Saabnut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Number 54 - a bit! of a rareity. A 1956 Saab 92b. The later incarnation of the first Saab production model, powered by a two cylinder two stroke. This meeds a lot of work, and these cars are pretty specialised, so it is with the leading light in the UK of these cars in the Midlands, awaiting its turn and the funding! trigger, DeeJay, eddyramrod and 20 others 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabnut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 And finally, Number 55. At least now when people ask me how many cars I have, I can answer them, I thought it was mid 40s! This one is the rarest of rare Saabs, a 1967 Saab Sonett two stroke. Only 258 were made, and only 2 reside in the UK. This one was used for sprinting and hill climbs, so the 850cc triple cylinder, triple carbed engine has been well tweeked, producing around 90bhp and as the car weighs around 600kg, it is spritely. Currently getting its third engine rebuild (that sort of power makes things fragile) but this time it is with the leading two stroke specialist and as we speak is getting the custom made pistons fitted. Should be home soon... Craig the Princess, Coprolalia, Lacquer Peel and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two very good specialists here, both breaking them for parts and plentiful selection. I also see quite a lot of 9-5 and 9-3 still buzzing around too.

barrett Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hey, I was looking at the Sonnett the other day. At least, I think I was, if it's currently in Southam. How likely is it you'd ever part with the 92? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabnut Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hey, I was looking at the Sonnett the other day. At least, I think I was, if it's currently in Southam. How likely is it you'd ever part with the 92? It would be nice if it was my Sonett, but as far as I know mine is still in bits, although it is in the Coventry area. I will have to send an email. As for the 92, a few months ago I would have said not for sale, but things change. Even in my book 55 is getting a bit excessive (and there are another three awaiting collection) and I have realised that I am not getting any younger and that I now have several life-times projects, so I am currently thinking about all options.

barrett Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I think it just have been yours - a white Sonnett II on Minilites in the workshop of the country's leading two stroke specialist... or a very big coincidence.
