The 900 (in 2 or 3 door form) has been my favourite car since I first became aware of them - c.1980? Owned a 1985 900i 3-door 8-valve for a few years in the late 90's and it remains the best care I've ever owned. Check out the utterly gorgeous Turbo that "I AM detailing" attended to a couple of years ago. I'll repeat something I said elsewhere - if you want to show an alien or future civilisation what a "motor car" is, show them this.

i had a 900t recently would love another good one - the rear boot was a shock so large, currently on 3rd 93 as daily driver... its a shame less specilaists around to look after the 900

Wait, who is this fella? Where is Harry?

top class, love for ever!

I totally agree: "please come back Saab".

Fantastic!!!

Adding to everything others said before me, like we use to say in Portugal: "this is a truly original replica"... of Harry's Garagem reviews. Just loved, very well done! And I love Saabs too!

They ignition is in a great place to be destroyed by spilled drinks. Later versions at least had a raised pod.

I think I will keep my Viggen forever

Please KEEP UP the good work. Why not a Citroen 2CV for the next video; mind you, ownership of Saabs and 2cv's tended to go hand-in-hand

Beautiful display of Saabs

Great stand and some remarkable cars! Well done. I have a near neighbour who bought a black manual T16 coupe, from new. It still looks stunning. A question from an Australian enthusiast - where does the 9000 model fit (1984- 1998) within UK SAAB enthusiasts minds, pre-GM, especially the 5-speed AERO? It's 40 years since its launch. Happy New Year to all SAAB enthusiasts.

It's a wonder you didn't bump into both Harry and No.27 doing their reviews on the same roads!

Great review 'Harry', nice to see you finally reviewing a proper car.

Use wheel chocks shaped to the tyres/ they are not expensive and save flat spots. Great for winter storage. Greet car and some great winter precautions there. Leave the wipers off the glass too. Saves the Rubber.

That's interesting, I also have a Saab 900 T16S in Embassy blue and registered in August 1990 with the body kit and a louvre panel on the rear screen, needs a lot of work!

I have owned two of these, an 89 coupe and a 88 hatch. The coupe was almost new and was a fantastic drive stiffer than the hatch, however the hatch was almost as good and was far more practical. They were both in the same colour as yours too, I will always remember the comfort of the seats, the build quality and the switchgear, but most of all how they went! The reason I bought the first was that I was following one in my XR3i back in 87 and it took off and I couldn't touch it! Great cars still supported by a fan base unknown today amongst modern vehicles. Wished I still had the coupe, at least I had the experience and my 2007 first gen CLS320 CDI gives me approximately the same driving experience!

More iconic than a 911... Love it ❤

There is no other car that can compare to SAAB because SAAB is not only just a car SAAB is a way of life! SAAB is beauty, SAAB is strength, SAAB is strong individuality. SAAB NEVER DIES. Svenska Aeroplan AktieBolaget ❤️

Brilliant

I too have a Saab 900 turbo convertible and I will not trade it with anything.

Well. It didnt come without its issues. Is it Classic? Definetly. ❤

LOVE!!

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 .

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

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!
