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

More Police Saabs – a 99 and a 900.
Since I already posted the video of a Saab 900 Police Car I decided to continue on the same topic. Here’s a few pics I shot of a 1968 Saab 99 Police Car and a Saab 900 Police Car. I don’t remember the model year of the 900, but I think it’s 1989-90:ish… The cars… Continue reading More Police Saabs – a 99 and a 900.
Saab 900 Poliisi (Police)
The Finnish Police still has one Saab 900 (16 valve 900i) in active duty. The car is more or less used as a backup and it is possibly going to museum sometime soon. Here’s a video from the Finnish broadcaster YLE (in Finnish only): http://areena.yle.fi/video/1299758544123 The clip should be viewable outside of Finland also.
Scan-Auton hyvän tahdon Poliisi Saabit
Scan-Auto lahjoitti valtiolle 4 kappaletta Poliisi-varusteisia Saab 96:sia vuosina 1965-1968.

Lahjoitetut autot olivat Saab 96 Sport 1965 (kaksitahtinen), Saab 96 Special 1966 (kaksitahtinen), Saab 96 V4 1967 sekä Saab 96… Continue reading Scan-Auton hyvän tahdon Poliisi Saabit

1966 Saab 96 – “Police Special”
Finnish Police had very few Saab 96 as patrol cars in the old days and none of them have survived to this day. I have had this really sad looking Tekno Saab 96 a while and I was going to restore it to it’s former glory. But then I got a better idea – why… Continue reading 1966 Saab 96 – “Police Special”
