SAAB 900 (1979-1994) Special Editions

bean

Yes, i have finally bought a 900 Carlsson Very Happy

I love it!! Cool

It has had a new front box, Nearly new middle box and the rear original twin tailpipes which have been refurbed to a very high standard.

I will hopefully be sourcing some super aero 16inch wheels for it as the previous owner had them on and it looked the bussiness!

With the super aero wheels on

Good catch! Was this the one I saw for sale recently with the note that the 16" Carlsson Aeros would be taken off before the sale would be completed?

For bringing it back to standard, be aware that the Carlsson Aero is different to the Super Aero Wink

... or go for some Super Incas, like the 'Red Arrow' Edition Cool

good cath indeed... but is that an original color? or is it just faded?

The first 3 pictures are from my phone so aren't the best...

Yes, it was the one orca, but for some reason i just prefer the super aero wheels - i don't know why but Confused

It is indeed the original colour but as with most reds - the pigment play up and goes faded. I have started bringing it back with some G3 compound and colour magic and it is coming up well Very Happy

. It will be easier with the mop so that will be happening soon.

Otherwise, it drives really well (not as fast as the grey 16v - i think that has been opened up as when accelerating hard, it flicks round into the red area of boost - with the carlsson, it doesn't even go into it) and the suspension is lovely as well.
