Thanks to Alexander Chapurin we got this Saab story from Belarus.
On behalf of the owner, Alexander sent it to us story about the Blue Saab 9-5 and loads of beautiful photos. This SAAB 9-5 is from Minsk, Belarus and its owenr is Sergey ( you can follow him on Instagram @azimut5999).
This SAAB arrived to Belarus from Pennsylvania USA. and It was a regular MY1999 Saab 9-5 SE in black color with a stock 2.3t engine and 170hp. Sergey is a second owner of it in Belarus. He is a professional car mechanic and Saab enthusiast, well known among all the SAAB owners in Minsk.
At First Sergey wanted to upgrade the car to a regular AERO with 230 Hp, but, as usual, – it’s never enough… Currently, the car has 400 hp on the wheels and 660 Nm of Torque!
