With a little delay, we present you a short report from the traditional gathering of Saab car fans in Slovakia called “Saab Session Slovakia“. Instead of the end of October, the gathering was held in the first half of October last year, at the attractive location of Vršatec. The Cliffs of Vršatec (Vršatské bradlá) is a massive lime formation that dominates the natural landscape in the middle of the Váh region. Being visible from afar, the cliffs are hard to miss.
According to the report that is always properly sent to us by Mr. Martin Pavelek, who is in the organization of this event, exactly 23 Saab cars with 40 “crew members” gathered at the Vršatec. The gathering of Saab car fans had an international prelude this year as well, because Saab fans from five surrounding countries (Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Austrija, Slovenia) were present at the gathering.
As always, on this occasion, very interesting Saab models were present at the meeting, such as the oldest SAAB 96 2T from 1963 in excellent condition, but there was also the latest generation Saab with top equipment – SAAB 9-5 NG AERO of course from 2012 – practically from the last production year.
On this occasion, on behalf of the organizers, Mr. Martin thanks everyone who was present for participating in the “Saab Session Slovakia 2020” – those three days were fantastic for they and theirs SAABs – once again, thank you very much.
