This Saab enthusiast owned Classic 900 has been a Britalia Motorworks shop car for the past 6 years. We're sad to see it go, but with recent automotive acquisitions, we're out of space! As with any car we sell, this Saab has been gone through front to back to ensure that all maintenance and systems are at 100%. It has a brand new OE quality Bosal exhaust from the catalytic converter back. We've just rebuilt the front end with all new ball joints and tie rod ends, using OE quality cast parts, not the cheap stamped steel ones. Driver's outer CV joint is new, again with an OE part, and all CV boots are new. We have just replaced the steering rack boots, replaced steering column bushings and topped all that off with a 4 wheel alignment. The engine has just received a tune up with quality Bosch ignition parts and NGK spark plugs. Oil and filter have just been changed, as well as air filter. The crankshaft vibration damper is new, as well as the A/C idler pulley, and all new quality Gates belts installed for alternator, power steering and A/C. The ABS accumulator was also just replaced. Runs out perfectly, transmission shifts great, turbo spools up like it should, uses zero oil between changes.
In the past year, the car has received a new starter, battery cables, plug wires, brake pads and transmission fluid and filter. Detecting a trend? We're obsessive about maintenance, and use quality parts. The Fuzion HRI tires are a few years old, and about 50% tread. With the exception of the cruise control, this is an "everything works" car. Power seats, mirrors, windows, heated rear window, every bulb in the dash, you name it. Even the original factory alarm and remote fob works. The A/C blows cold and the sight glass is clear. It's still charged with R12, but Saab was smart enough to use barrier hoses on the A/C system, so it doesn't seep refrigerant. The car was painted and a new top installed by the last Saab enthusiast owner. The top is in great shape, the hydraulics work perfectly and the body is straight. The factory 3 piece hard top boot is in the original bag in the trunk, and is perfect. The paint job was a mid-grade job, and now we're seeing a couple of pencil eraser sized spots on the trunk lid where the clear coat is separating, and more extensive separation on the hood. There is a little rust bubbling around the passenger front wheel arch. We figure a drain hole must have gotten plugged at some point, as it's the only rust on the car. The floors are perfect. See the detail photos for the body flaws. Like every other Classic 900 we've seen, the top of the dash has some cracks. We've used Leatherique through the years to keep the leather supple, but the drivers seat does have some seam separation and bolster wear. Again, see the photos. The car has an aftermarket Sony CD player we installed, playing through stock speakers. With a driver's side airbag, ABS, A/C, fuel injection etc, this little Saab is the perfect example of a daily driver collectable car. It's modern enough and efficient enough to use every day, but if properly maintained will only appreciate in value. People make admiring comments about it all the time. We've put several thousand dollars worth of parts and labor into this car, and it's ready for the next owner to address the easy cosmetic issues, or simply drive as is and enjoy. We'll happily answer any questions, and welcome a pre-purchase inspection by the mechanic of your choice. We have a recent Carfax print out we'd be happy to fax or email. We've included lots of pictures so you can see exactly what you're getting. A winning bid is a legal obligation to purchase, not an opportunity to inspect and then decide, so be sure before you bid. We've sold many cars on eBay, and have a 100% rating for a reason. Terms are a $500 deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of a winning bid, and full payment and receipt of vehicle within 7 days. Good luck! NOTE: After listing, we see that Autocheck is giving the car a low score as it is calculating 8 owners. If you look at the report you will see that 3 of the "owners" in Wilmington, NC have the same title number. We bought it out of NC, drove the car to Denver, CO which was home at the time, then brought it to VA when we moved. We count 4 owners. It's not really all that important given all the work on the car, but still, it's important that you have accurate information. |

Spyker files $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors over Saab's demise
Mon, 06 Aug 2012"Smack." That's the sound of Spyker's process server dropping a big ol' pile of legal documents on the doorstep of The Renaissance Center, home of General Motors - or wherever GM's attorneys live during business hours. Contained therein is a Complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and demanding a jury trial, that seeks $3 billion in damages due to "the unlawful actions GM took to avoid competition with Saab Automobile in the Chinese market." Spyker accuses GM of "tortiously interfering" with Saab's business relationship with Chinese automaker Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile (Youngman), actions that Spyker CEO Victor Muller (above) said "deliberately drove Saab Automobile into bankruptcy."
(From Wikipedia: "Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships.")
The interference in question specifically refers to the very last potential deal, called the Framework Agreement, that Spyker worked out with Youngman. With lots of GM engineering embedded into the 9-4X and 9-5, The General had the right to approve any Saab partnership that would involve the transfer of GM intellectual property. Spyker had been rebuffed over every previous deal with a Chinese firm, including two bids by Youngman, due to GM concerns over its IP getting into Chinese hands and having to face Chinese-market competitors using its technology. The Complaint alleges that the Framework Agreement would have put a firewall around all GM IP - Youngman would only work on Saab's Phoenix platform, said to be just about free of GM tech, and would have no access to 9-3, 9-4X or 9-5 technology until after Saab ceased all ties to GM.
Look familiar? NEVS 9-3, 9-3X are Saab-derived EVs for China
Wed, May 31 2017National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) have been working on creating EVs based on its Saab assets for years. We heard back in 2015 that we'd have an EV based on the 9-3 this year, and now we're finally getting to see the results. NEVS has unveiled its 9-3 and 9-3X EV concepts, which it will use in a mobility project in Tianjin, China. NEVS is showing the 9-3 EVs at CES Asia in Shanghai on June 7-9, where it will also provide more details about the cars, its Tianjin project, and future plans for the brand. As for Tianjin, NEVS will provide the cars and the services for carsharing and ride-hailing programs in the city. For that project, NEVS is collaborating with Tianjin Binhai Hi-tech Industrial Development Area (THT), which is the industrial park where its shared factory (with joint venture partner Dongfeng) and R&D center are located. NEVS President Mattias Bergman says, "We are excited by this great opportunity to develop smart, sustainable mobility solutions together with a progressive city as Tianjin, and develop them in full scale with real people in real life situations, with the vision to create a future integrated urban mobility solution." As for the 9-3 EVs, they're not much different in appearance from the GM-era Saabs, but they have NEVS badging (NEVS doesn't have rights to the Saab trademark). They have a driving range of about 186 miles, offer in-car Wi-Fi, smartphone connectivity, and can get over-the-air software updates. NEVS says the cars are equipped with a "world-class" cabin air filter, which helps keep harmful particulates out of the car (important in the polluted urban centers China is working to improve). They're being built in China, and are expected to hit the roads there in 2018. Related Video:
NEVS Saab EV prototype on display, with top speed of just 75 mph
Sat, Aug 23 2014National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the Saab-owning Swedish holding company that is in turn owned by Chinese investors, has some problems (i.e., no cash). But that isn't stopping NEVS from showing off a prototype Saab 9-3 Electric Vehicle this week. But wait, you might be saying, didn't NEVS already start production of a 9-3 EV? Yes, indeed, and the vehicle displayed this week was indeed built at the Saab plant in Trollhattan in May as one of those early pilot builds. A modified Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan, the EV has had the lithium-ion battery pack jammed under the floor, so all of the cargo and passenger space of the gas-powered 9-3 remains available. "The starting point for our development of the Electric Vehicle project was to maintain all the good attributes and characteristics," said NEVS' vice president of engineering and product development, Stig Nodin in a statement. You can find the press release below. The li-ion pack comes from Beijing National Battery Technology (which is owned by the same company that owns NEVS) and can offer a range of about 120 miles, NEVS says. The prototype also has a 100-kW electric motor that offers 140 horsepower that provides a 0-60 miles per hour time of 10 seconds and a top speed of just 75 miles per hour. That's unlikely to be fast enough to outrun Saab's creditors, but NEVS says that the prototype is here "to serve as a reference for specification of coming production model(s)," so let's hope the speed number can be increased while the range at least stays the same. Today Nevs presented the Saab 9-3 Electric Vehicle as designed and produced as part of a prototype series in Trollhattan. The car is a modified Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan where the batteries are placed under the floor, keeping the full interior space as well as the luggage compartment intact. With that, the Saab 9-3 EV is just as practical as the Saab 9-3 Aero with gasoline engine. The Saab 9-3's famous driving-experience is of course preserved in the EV, helped by its low center of gravity and a 50/50 weight distribution. "We are happy to present the result of Nevs engineering into a real Saab EV product. The Saab cars' well-known performance and safety is maintained and we foresee a very good product for the market. When we developed the Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan Model Year 14, we focused on enhancing the driving experience, safety and quality.
