Great to see Matt talking about the book. It's fantastic - a tremendous achievement....and his car is utterly gorgeous 😍

Any suggestions on where to get the silver decals from the (talladega) red T16 with body kit?

Another great video and amazing tribute to the Classic 900! Hope to catch up with you next year Paul 👍🏼🌟

Pity your display only seemed to promote the 900 - any reason why? When I saw your link, I thought great, we will see a nice range of SAABs at the show... !

Great to meet you at the show on Friday, and talk all things Saab 900. All of the cars on the stand looked great, and really good to see the range from very early to the last. 👍

It was a great show. The Saab stand looked fantastic. The Talladega red one was my personal favourite. Absolutely stunning car.

Good heavens we must be getting old. I remember my husband bringing a yellow convertible one home in the very early 90s

My ‘92 vert 900 is nicely tucked away out of the rain at the moment…. Thanks for the vid.

Great video, guys. I love the later ones but the flat nose ones have grown on me lately 👌😀

On my 3rd 900i classic since mid 80s. First two I went round the clock with twice. Maybe it's time I joined the SAAB club?

Excellent video, thanks for making the effort to create it. The cars looked fabulous 😃

Love my 1991 900 SPG (16v S). Will never sell it.

Ok. Firstly, the original recardo engine was a Co development between Saab and triumph. Please stop calling it a triumph engine that’s not accurate. Secondly the engine was originally fitted to the 99 not the 90. And the third generation ‘h’ type engine was the 16 valve unit fitted to the 9000 turbo, not the 900. Unless you’re referring to the APC system fitted to the 8 valve turbo and then the 16 valve later, as a generation of engine. The APC system was an add on to the original ‘h’ type engine rather than a generation of engine in its own right. The reverse gear lock wasn’t really about safety, it was an anti theft device. However, I agree wholeheartedly with your critique of the original stereo equipment, especially the speakers, they were rubbish. Every Saab 900 I’ve ever owned, I’ve changed all of them, a lot of the time putting a lovely pair of 6x9s in the rear shelf. Another minus point. The space in the glove box is a bit bobbins. Otherwise, good road test, nice to see you driving it properly and not hanging about, I enjoyed the following shots around corners especially. It is lovely to see that car strutting its funky stuff.

I bought a black 3 door 16s in 1989. It had just under 100000 miles on it, but drove like new and I loved it. After a couple of years I flogged it to a mate, who put another 250000 miles on it. Unfortunately I found that I couldn't live without a Saab in my life so I bought a 9000 Carlsson turbo (And I still kick myself for selling that after I had owned it for 16 years. Now I'm running a 93 Aero 280 Sportwagon....not as fast as the Carlsson, doesn't handle as well despite the cross wheel drive, drinks twice as much fuel and costs more to tax than I spent buying the 16s! I still love it though.

Wow! Some stunning rare examples. Gutted I couldn’t make the show but this further drives me to complete my 1986 T16s Aero restoration. Looking forward to the full video release and the stand looks fabulous. What a celebration.. 👍

I can remember someone told me the bonnet design was to let the snow fall of. Yes you had to open the bonnet and tip it foward 🤔

Hope to be there on Sat, was there also an all-cream colour 16S available at some point, still with the flat front?

Looking forward to my visit tomorrow- I’ve a Ruby, car 60 of the 150 🤓

I owned two 900i Classics in the 80s and 90s and now retired have a 3rd 900i after a 25 year gap of driving mostly company A4s. It just feels right.

Superb. Very well done! Lovely car and lovely homage to Mr M (who is one of my favourite TH-camrs).

when you store a Saab you are negating it's original purpose, Saabs are to be driven and enjoyed regularly, at least three to four times a week . And also as a dedicated Saab/Volvo tech it's really annoying when our clients make the noise that the car is making, describe the sound and simply tell me where. Saabs of this vintage need a technician as an owner with mechanical sympathy .

Unfortunately I have no sound when you speak so unwatchable.

When I decided to find a Saab, somewhere around ‘96, I kept my eyes open for a grey(Edwardian?) , or green (scarab?). I ended up finding a lemans blue. At the time, not what I wanted, but a ‘92 vert in really good shape, and probably unlikely to find another. Plus, already had (still have) a red jeep XJ. I’ve grown quite fond of the color, and at the recent SoC in the states, everyone said it was a somewhat uncommon color. Keep these baby’s on the road! Btw, yours is exquisite

very weird - and a total waste of time.

Harry’s collection is better than yours. Your hair is better than his. I’ll call it a draw. Is that a Tudor Black Bay? Don’t think Harry has one of those 😉

the smell is also the glue used throughout all Saab 99 and 900 interiors. Always the same. Sagging headliner anyone?

Ha ha 😂Nice one

I absolutely lost it when you gestured, “the huge wraparound window”. You deserve every bit of praise and appreciation you’re getting here. This is sliced, fried gold!

Loved this! So much absolutely spot on. (But at 14:37 overtaking through a junction? Harry would never do that! 😆)

Fabulous car, fabulous cat!

even with the smartwatch on the right and the mechanical watch on the left!!!! details

A well made film , very enjoyable!

Spg was the best saab ever

Morty?? Lol you have a great sense of humor. No disrespect to morty i owned a saab years ago and found myself finding places to deive to juat to be in the car, the smell of the leather, sound of the turbo, you could set it on cruise at 155 mph what a car.

I would watch more of these

I really thought i clicked on harry

Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere in the comments. But Harry was a one time 900 T16 owner

I absolutely loved this. I wanted to do the same type of video with my E12 for a while now (my channel name was inspired from Harry's garage) but lack of time and resources have prevented me doing so. Well done and done to the tee. Subscribed!

Classic! Nicely done! Harry will love it...somebody might send him a link! Thanks for sharing! Cheers! I had one way back when...once bitten, forever smitten! You're spot on when you said, "...it's a driver's car!" I miss it to this day! Ah well...

Some niggles: transmission issues requiring a new one before 65,000 on the clock, the position of the key between the seats much appreciated but it broke off requiring using needle nose pliers, gear linkage clunky, to name a few. I owned two from new.

Don’t forget to let Ginger out of the boot! Probably the cause of the interior smell you referred to?😀😀😃😄😁😆

Should you not change the thermostat running the fan as well just to see if it helps? They do get slow as they age.

Try treating all your seals with a rubber improver which adds back vital rubber ingredients and makes the rubbers swell to original size. They shrink in UV. The best is a stick you apply like lip salve! GUMMI Pflege is excellent. It’s clear;early that rubber seal allowing water in primarily. It’s then creeping up the bead and through the seal on the headlining. Have you got cloth in the gutter - it needs to be clear of the steel area so cut it back.

Beautifully done. Loved it! 😀

Legends never die, lasts from now to eternity. We love SAAB ❤❤❤😊

You just needed a small pillow up your jumper 😂

I was very fortunate to do an apprenticeship at Saab 1989 Ace Kensington in West London I had a 16s 89 model in red I bought the 16inch 3 spoke Carlson rims new from our parts department Best looking car ever made Would love to go back to them days

Very well done, I have one of these 85 T16s in silver with the Colorado red interior, a real rollercoaster to drive and a pleasure to listen to, you don’t need a stereo.

The watch on each wrist is an insane callback 💯

Cracking video! Great interview and responses from Matt 👍🏼
