An independent home for classic Saab owners, restorers, and drivers — restoration guides, owner interviews, market intelligence, and a community that still turns the ignition key with two fingers.
Whether you're rebuilding a 1974 99 EMS, sourcing a Hirsch-spec turbo, or trying to silence that intermittent ABS warning, this is the part of the internet built for you.
Photographed, torque-spec'd, and tested — from rust repair to B204 engine rebuilds.
Forum, regional meets, and a member directory that actually responds to messages.
Vetted specialists — from CNC re-manufactured APC valves to upholstery in original Tessin wool.
Real transaction data, auction watch, and pricing trends for 900, 9-3, 9-5, and 99 models.
Multi-part deep dives that follow a car from discovery to delivery — including every wrong turn, every spare part ordered twice, and every late night in the garage.
Frozen calipers, mice in the headliner, and an engine bay full of 1980s optimism. Eivind's tale of bringing a 1986 900 Turbo back to roadworthy glory — and the failed water pump that almost ended it.
How a forgotten family saloon became the smart money in Scandinavian classics. We trace the spec, the rust points, and the Hirsch-modified examples setting auction records in 2025.
Three timing chains, two direct ignition cassettes, and zero plans to sell. Rhys has been running the same 9-5 Aero wagon as his daily since 2011. Here's what broke, what didn't, and what he'd do again.
A curated, owner-reviewed directory of the workshops, parts suppliers, and fabricators keeping these cars on the road. No paid placements — just the ones our community keeps going back to.
B204, B235, B308 — specialists in re-manufactured long-blocks, balancing, and the notorious balance-chain stretch on early 9-5s.
Floor pans, rear arches, battery trays, and the famous A-pillar cancer. Panel-beaters fluent in Saab-specific corrosion patterns.
Re-velouring in original-spec Tessin and Sport fabric, SID rebuilds, and the increasingly rare art of repairing Asbestos-era headliners.
Direct ignition cassette rebuilds, APC valve diagnostics, wiring-harness fabrication, and the dark art of making a 1994 SID behave.
Sourcing the unobtainable — from new-old-stock Hirsch body kits to original Clarion head units still in the original box.
Remote video inspections, in-person assessments, and a written report — the same checklist our own buyers use on 30-year-old Turbos.
A typical member restoration follows five well-trodden steps. We provide the templates, the torque specs, and the patient community behind every one of them.
Find the car. Photograph everything. Run a free VIN check against our parts catalogue and known service-history gaps.
Use our 92-point rust and mechanical survey. Share results in the project log to get targeted advice from owners who've done it.
Order from the directory. Check the parts database for superseded numbers. Watch the marketplace for the rare bits.
Follow a step-by-step guide, log your hours, post photos. The community catches the small mistakes before they become expensive ones.
Take it to a regional meet. Submit your finished project to the members' gallery. Lend a hand to the next new owner.
New guides, owner interviews, and market analysis published each week by members and contributing specialists.
The shortcut our community has refined over a decade: 40 minutes with the right tool, zero broken plastic, and no re-learn required.
Three generations, one fibreglass press, and a 1970 Sonett III that's been in the family since new. A conversation with the Larsens.
The numbers behind the headline. We dig into Bring a Trailer, Collecting Cars, and the European auctions to surface the real movements.
