I have always admired Saab. One of my few regrets is that I have never owned one.

the gauges look cool

I don't think they were great cars. They were okay and fast allright. But they are a vauxhaull vectra with some quirky saab parts bolted on. The build quality was not amazing

I own 2 classic 900's and a 9000, I love them! Nice looking car you have there!

I owned a 1997 Talladega 2.0L turbo (B204L) SE 5 door. All the trimmings and full leather throughout. Rust destroyed the body work eventually and it ended up going to scrap a few months ago. I still haven't got over it as I owned that car for 20 years and never had one failure. It was like losing a loved one. I watch these now and then and wish I still owned one. Fantastic cars and mostly incognito to those who don't know.(For the record, I still own the service history book/wallet with the safety card, I couldn't let that go......)

The car was launched in 1993 as model year 1994. I was on the launch at the Trollhättan square. I was 14 years old, and it was a magical experience.

Love this car and hope to get one too one day or the older 900 turbo

Pretty car. Glad to see it being appreciated and enjoyed. I have a ruby red 1993 9000 , 5spd. Turbo across the pond here In New England.

Still have my 1994 Saab 900ng Convertible. Hard to believe its almost 30 years old now. It spend 2 years on a scrapyard (left fender and door were damaged, and the roof didnt work.) Revived it, been a semi-daily since then. Its a 2.3i, with now 192k km on it (got it with 170k) I still have a 2.3t engine from a Saab 9000 floating around... and its itching.. 😅😅

The dealership closest to me was Bay Horse Saab, Osbaldeston, Mellor, Blackburn, Lancs. It's now a Maserati dealer owned by Bowker BMW. We used to deal with Saab Manchester also back in the day. The new Saabs were amazing to see in the flesh!

A very well executed video. The car looks fantastic and seeing it actually brought tears to my eyes as someone very dear to me owned one the same colour and he's no longer with us. He loved his 900. The least he'd ever bought a car for (it was ten years old when he bought it), but by far, the best he'd ever had! I've grown up with and have been around them my whole life. I'm 43 now. I currently own a Laser Red 9-3 OG SE. Had it 5 years now. One in a long line of Saabs I've had. There really isn't many left in the UK, especially hard tops.

Just discovered this and your 30th anniversary video. Outstanding. I'm on my 2nd NG900 - a red 97 2.0L convertible. The one that hooked me was a black 1995 900S. Underbelly rust consumed it. Cheers!

No - this is a super rare car in my area.

I have the 3door 900S. The heated seats don’t work, but that’s okay - I don’t drive it in the winter. I live in Edmonton, Canada. 🇨🇦

Fantastic Video Tom. Watching and listening to your narration, reminds me why I bought a new ng900 in 1996 and kept it for 14 years. I can confirm your opinion of the B204 being one of the best four cylinder engines ever made. I co own a turbo track car, which takes all the abuse thrown at it on the track and hill climbs. It just takes it all in its stride and keeps on giving. Never has it used a single drop of oil. Watching your stunning car cruise the streets of Chester is a joy, red is most definitely the best colour for the car. It’s wonderful that it still drive the same local roads after 30 years 😊

Agreed! Red is the best. Just look at all the SAAB videos SAAB put out of this car - most are featuring the red. A very unusual car for my area of the world. I have the original steel rims as well. Super fun!

Such a great video! I also have this car! 1994 900S in red. 119,000kms. No rust. No door dings. Excellent condition. Built in June 1994, as indicated on the door frame sticker. But my steering wheel is on the left, 😜. 🇨🇦

Mine is black :) It's showing it's age now though and the front end has been banged up by a truck while parked two times now. The engine still runs perfectly, the brakes are great having had the front rotors replaced about 5 years ago, clutch and manual transmission is still going strong. AC components were busted in the front end bang up, but those have been replaced. Power steering system has a slow leak. Water is getting into rear hatch area fairly badly at the moment, big problem in Louisiana. I'm bringing it into a leak expert tomorrow to take a look at that. If the water leaks can't be resolved reasonably, I may have to give up my all time favorite car. We'll see. If it can be fixed, I have another mechanic that I might hit up for a bunch of small repairs. I really like this car. Excellent combination of luxury, performance, and practicality.

Glorious car, I have a 1998 on an R plate, 2.0 with blue velour and wood with the original radio cassette, she will be back on the road in a couple of weeks.

My 1994 Saab 900ng Convertible turns 30 later this year. So yes, I do care. 😄 LeMans blue, 2.3i with a blue roof. One of the most reliable cars i've owned so far.

I also had a 3dr 900 se Turbo, did 130,000 miles in it. Always replaced the clutch cable every 40,000 miles to keep the clutch action smooth. Kept the car 11 years... sold it in 2007 at 150,000 miles.... great car

Greta video. y daily is a 1994 NG900 which started its life as a 2.3 automatic, and now is a stage 3+ 2.3 turbo manual. I did this only after upgrading suspension, steering and brakes. I am the second owner, and I also maintained this car for the original owners. These are fun to drive and own, and are very easy to upgrade.

it's so beautiful to see some love for the amazing 900ng i just got my first one a couple months ago it needed some work and still needs some more but it's such an amazing car. i also have a stuck rear caliper lol

GM Saab = Rubbish badge engineering!

Excellent video! one of the best I saw! I am a happy owner of a 1997 Saab 900NG Talladega with 100,000 kms and a 1997 9000 Aero, Great cars, I am very sad that SAAB no longer exists. Greetings from Argentina. 👏🇸🇪

Have owned 3 of these. The look of them grew on me immensely. Beautiful cars.

Interesting point of view and report..; I have a 166 V6 on my side. I was wondering if the Busso sound was exactly the same as on the 166, or slightly different, becauase the 156 is 2.5...?

Superb video John, I own a Year 2000 OG Saab 93 SE Turbo in sun green and it's in the condition of yours, both NG 900 and OG 93 are such great cars.🙂

Cool story and nicely edited video! My current OG900 Cab was sold and serviced long time in Liverpool by company named Mayfield Garage finally in this year ending up here in Finland after spending 12-13 years in other country with enthusiast.

I own a OG 9-3 Aero... I searched almost a decade to find a decent one... this car will be the last to leave my garage.

Red colour - pretty good looking! My 900 S is black

I remember when I saw when Saab show this for the public in Trollhättan in 1993. I was 7 years then. ☺️

Sub Nr 200 😀 good Saab content. The NG900 has not much of a fan zone sadly. Design and everything is really nice its sad they had so many quality problems :(

Congratulations! Such a good video: this red coupe is a masterpiece, a dream in true life! The film, the landscape (including the urban one), the light and the music, all off them do compose a hard work and a big tribute to this car blend which is also written in red colour in my heart!

Cash 4 clunkers in the US killed a lot these Saabs. So hard to find now 😭I have an 03 Volvo I absolutely love. I want to start a lil Swedish car collection.

I like how saabs just have a different presence on the road. Like it's unseen

Nice video, but I thought the colour is IMOLA red

Very nice example of the NG900! Thanks for a great video praising an even greater car.

A company trashed by GM, just like the Chinese volvo ownership

Fantastic video, great car and you absolutely scored with the weather and got some stunning shots. My favourite is the one turning left when the sun is just squinting through. Beautiful. My Dad bought a 2.0 S in Ruby red in march 96 from the Aberdeen dealer Adrian Smith. It had the optional Saab Audio fitted and fixed towbar (as per the bonus bonus footage). I binned it down an embankment as an enthusiastic 17 year old, then buckled a wheel against a kerb due in no small part to its chronic understeer and abysmal Pirelli P4000 tyres. After giving me the row from hell, my father binned it himself after falling asleep at the wheel! It was straightened (again) on the jig (again) but we lost faith and traded it in for a 9000 CSE 2.3 eco auto. One point to note and for me stood out was that I was convinced that the solid red of your car was 'imola' red and not 'Monza' red. I might be wrong but I don't think I am. Happy Saab'ing! 😁

Thanks for a great video! I have owned my NG900 Turbo -97 since 1999 and I love the car. It was my daily drive until just a few years ago. Now it’s just my hobby car.

Brilliant tribute to the new 900. I have the same brochure and issues of Autocar from my childhood..! Outside I have 2 9-3 'verts with the B204e and 205e respectively. These cars sit at 80 mph without breaking a sweat - loved your shot on the dual carriageway! Your 900 is really a sweet spot in spec and a credit to you and its dear former carers. Best wishes to you and L508WWV!

I have a 2.0 petrol jts 159GT and love it but I'll tell you that it's grim and i can't believe that you don't have a owners club in Scotland anyway it's the best car for driving back roads and it's never let me down so how's the reputation for reliability issues with the drive who cares

“We don’t talk about autos on this channel”

This takes me back! I had a 2.5l V6 Coupe in black with an auto 'box. Full leather interior. It had enough torque to tow a house! After watching this video I really regret selling it now!

Fantastic video Tom. Your 900 is such a stunning looking car, the coupe bodystyle, the red paint and those 3 spoke alloys. I saw it at Rustival and the condition for a 30 year old car. I do think people car, this was a modernisation of perhaps Saab's best known model, and it hung onto the saabness despite the new world of GM ownership. It still looks like nothing else out there. The car is a credit to you, the detail of the video is great, I learned a lot! Also like how you gave a tribute to the long term owners and where the dealership used to be. The external footage is absolutely brilliant and the setting looks so nice - did not think Chester looked like that! The archive footage is wicked, how did you find that?!

I love this!!!!

Some effort gone into this. Nice job. Great shots and content. Were the roads closed or summat?? 😂

Great video picked a perfect day to film it too

Cheers Jack. I’ve a Clio RS video in the pipeline but knowing me will be another 2 years before I do it 😂😂
