Mr. Salo Yang is as amazing, as his love for Saab cars. He found another remarkably elegant, classic Saab 900 in Taiwan. This time, it is Saab 900 Turbo 16S (FPT – Full Pressure Turbo), a car that has an interesting history (great Saab story).
The original owner who is the officer of the Belgian Office in Taiwan that designated Saab 900 Turbo 16S while he was stationed in Taiwan in 1986. After 5 years, he ordered another 1991 Saab 900 Turbo from SAC when he was transferred to Brazil, then, the new 900 was delivered to Brazil from the manufacturer directly.
Nearly 10 years after he left Taiwan, the old car, 1986 Saab 900, was rescued from the parking lot and exists at almost scrap state after transferred a couple of owners. The new owner restores and upgrades it. No matter that this Sab has traveled over half a million miles, it is still fresch and quite elegant.
Attached are fantastic photos that detail all the beauty of this classic Saab car.

My ’82 turbo killed a Toyota and a 1200 pound moose (I had a Rising Sun and a Moose sticker on the driver’s door under the window), and still soldiered on to just short of 550,000 miles with nothing but normal maintenance. The last 10,000 were in the hands of a 17 yr old. I though it fairly reliable and lots of fun to drive.
Best design ever and this one has the Saab Porsche wing as well ❤️😎
Ha ha !! I had the same in paint Odoardo from 1988 to 2005 (177000 kms) also with the « tea -table wing » and a sporty exhaust ; what a car…
That definitely is a very nice car. Timeless and best design ever!
Just needs the 3 spoke wheels 🛞!
