Registers 900
Derived from the Saab 99, the 900 was very different car indeed. It featured a new front section, re designed rear and a new interior said to be based on cockpit design principles. In 1984 Saab took this one step further with the introduction of the 900 turbo 16s. By using a new design 16 valve head, a modern turbocharger and an intercooler power output was increased, 175bhp with a massive 201lbft of torque. 1986 saw the launch of the convertible. Based on a 2 door it featured a electric/hydraulic folding hood and strengthened body section. Early models were all turbocharged with high specification including full luxury leather interior. The convertible range was increased in 1990 with the inclusion of a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine. To mark the end of production in March 1993 there was a special edition ‘ruby’ Painted in ruby metallic with special trim these cars are very sought after. Back to Registers • Contact the Registrar
