I previously wrote about the very last Saab 900 that the Finnish police still has. Yesterday username “saamu” posted a link on the Saab Club Finland discussion board of a news article where it was stated that the very last 1993 model Saab 900 has finally retired from police service. What will happen to the… Continue reading The last police Saab 900 retires

Saab 96 “V4 Xtreme”
I just stumbled upon this somewhere (can’t remember where). Anyway, I think this “96 V4 Extreme” looks pretty awesome! And by the pictures it looks like there’s a tech upgrade coming that will make it truly “extreme” 😀 Cool car, check the rest at Garaget.org: http://www.garaget.org/?car=121513&image=1721976
A little luck goes a long way…
So, the 1964 got registered and I’ve been taking it for a some rides the past few days. There’s been a few hicups which were pretty much expected – it is after all an almost 50 year old car and last saw the open roads in 1976! But I did have one really annoying problem… Continue reading A little luck goes a long way…
Part 77. Saab 96 1964 on the road again…
The 1964 two stroke is finally on the road again for the first time since 1976! I got it inspected and registered today. The inspection itself was passed with flying colours, but there was a few hicups to sort before it:

National Classic Car Day 2012 Finland – Saab 95 1961
A fellow Saab Club member Vesa brought in his 1961 two stroke Saab 95 Wagon – a seven seater. The car is in original unrestored condition except for some touch up paint in the engine room. Very nice patina for a 50+ year old Saab! Vesa has owned the car for several years waiting for… Continue reading National Classic Car Day 2012 Finland – Saab 95 1961
