1991 SAAB 900i 16 valve SOLD

SOLD - PENDING COLLECTION


Regrettably, the time has come to say goodbye to Saber, my 1991 SAAB 900i. I acquired the car in July 2020 after it had been sat for some time and have loved every moment of owning this quirky Swedish icon.

Reason for sale is the all too common problem of too many cars, too little space. I have a new project car, a Rover 416GSi, and sadly something has to go.

(Milage is 86, 500, not 83, 500, my error)

I am the 4th owner of the car in the log book. Its first owner was Bay Horse SAAB of Blackburn before being acquired by its first actual owner in mid-1991. It was owned by this gentleman until his passing around 2010 always used and maintained rigorously. There are large amounts of paperwork from his ownership dating from 2002ish until 2010. From this point it the car was sat for a number of years before in 2014 a family friend who had seen the car sat inquired about it and ended up purchasing it from the previous owners widow. With a new battery it fired right into life and with some new rear brake pipes passed its MOT and was in use once again. Our friend used the car over the winter of 2014-2015 and covered around 2, 000 miles until one morning he went to use the car and the clutch pedal went straight to the floor, so he used his other car with the view to fixing the SAAB when he got around to it. But sadly weeks, months and years passed until in July 2020 I finally got the opportunity to purchase the car which I leapt at! Work carried out to the car to get it back on the road included a new Idle control valve, new clutch master cylinder & pipework, adjustment to the brake light switch, patching up the exhaust, 2 new tyres, a new battery, new rear-off-side brake calliper, new sunroof motor, new alternator/ water pump belt and power steering pump belt, a good service and minor bits and bobs. I do have new disks and pads for the car along with a few other minor spares however these were not needed in the end as after a clean up the breaks were just fine. After this, on the 4th of September 2020 the car received its MOT and I have been using it regularly since and have covered around 3, 000 miles so far. I was hoping to take this car on a road trip to the home of SAAB, Trollhättan however due to world events this sadly never happened, however I know it will certainly make it there and back very comfortably and swiftly without missing a beat!

The Good –
86, 500 miles as of writing this ad,
Labrador Velour interior in excellent condition,
Original Phillips radio,
2 new Bridgestone tyres,
Recent work carried out as described above,
Plenty of history and paperwork including a full documented service history up to 81k and serviced by myself at 83k,
Structurally a very solid car,
Electric everything (and works!),
Swedish build quality second to none!

The Bad –
This is a well-used example and bodywork reflects that,
Minor surface rust in multiple places throughout car,
Headlining in poor condition,
Check Engine light illuminated,
Cold idle issue.. Believed to be a problem with idle control valve but changed to no avail, I have also changed the O2 sensor and the mass airflow sensor.. Possibly some form of vacuum leak? The car has been this way since I purchased it and is still perfectly useable. When the car is cold it idles very low but after 2 mins it idles fine a dream,
3rd gear synchromesh not good, once you get used to the particular gearbox it becomes second nature to double declutch, but for a cure a gearbox refurb is most likely needed and price reflects this,
Front passenger door central locking not functioning and awkward to open,
Drivers’ heated seat not functioning.

I have had tremendous enjoyment from owning this car, taking it back to a roadworthy condition and giving it the love it deserves and I can only hope that the next owner continues this work and keeps this car going for many many years to come!

Inquirey via e-mail/ message service is prefered. Thank you

I will be more than willing to deliver the car anywhere in the country from Lands End to John O' Groats, provided the purchacer pays the cost of a train back to manchester on top of the ageed price.

MOT until Sep-2021

Thanks, Jack
