Here’s what Justin says about this interesting car:

I am a mad keen saabber here from adelaide, and follow Saabplanet everyday!

I found an incredibly rare car in my town that you might only see once in a lifetime, And i think a piece needs to be written about it and featured on Saabplanet.com!

Unfortunately the car is for sale, even though i think it is a museum piece! I believe it is one of the first 16 valve engines in the world, Such as Saab “the innovators” were…. and i believe the b202 et al was based on this head.

Please feature it! The owner is heaps nice, and a bit of a legend!

Thanks in advance,

Justin van Stralen (8 x Saab 900 classics)

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
