1988 SAAB 900I

KEY FACTS

• A highly original, two-owner example of the modern classic Swedish coupe.
• Under the bonnet is the 109bhp 2.0-litre inline-four, coupled to a three-speed automatic transmission.
• First registered on 1 December 1988, the Saab was sold new by Reg Petts Swedish Motors of Albury, and it remained with its original owner until 2020.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The Saab’s stylish coupe body is finished in its original Cirrus White paintwork, with black plastic bumpers front and rear, and black side moulding strips.
• Inside, there are heated front seats, and the cabin is upholstered in grey fabric.
• Factory fitted features include a heated rear screen, power steering and an Alpine stereo head unit.
• The vehicle is supplied with its original owner’s manual and log books.

CONDITION

• There is no known body damage.
• The Cirrus White paintwork remains in very good condition, with a small chip noted in the leading edge of the bonnet. There are also some signs of ageing in the paint finish around the badges. The black trim panels are in generally good order, with some minor marks commensurate with the mileage, and slight misalignment of the plastic trim on the lower front bumper.
• Inside, the grey upholstery is particularly clean and stain free; the driver’s seat shows just a small patch of wear on the upper bolster. The door cards, dashboard fascia, and distinctive steering wheel present well. A small crack is visible in the dashboard top panel, extending from a grille cover.
• There are no known mechanical or electrical faults.
• The most recent registration inspection was performed in 2020, with no warnings or advisories being issued.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The vehicle is supplied with a partial service history, with the bulk of the documented services performed by Reg Petts Swedish Motors, who sold the vehicle from new. These are illustrated clearly in the gallery below.

SUMMARY

This Saab 900i Coupe is a highly original example of the stylish Swede from the 1980s. Presented in very good condition for its age and mileage, and with just two owners since new, it would make for a characterful daily driver or weekend cruiser, and would be a smart addition to any collection of everyday modern classics.
