I think it's about time we had a Saab piccy thread on here!

I'll kick off with my two:







Got some 16" Super Aeros to go on the 9000, just waiting for some new tyres and then will post a pic.

And my dad's:



Show us yours!

Just had Uniroyal Rainsport2s fitted to my newly acquired Superaeros:



Not a fan of silver, but silver on silver looks rather good I reckon!

Nice, that's less than I paid for my 9000 with a dodgy gearbox! Which engine/box?

Cheers chap!

Paint is not so good close up, but it had just had a mop and polish before that pic was taken!

It has a JT 3" exhaust with a single silencer and 3" downpipe. Sounds lovely and a much quicker spool than standard.

twosaabs, saw your Carly at the Sunday Service yesterday! I was parked just behind (dark red TVR S2). Saw you leave but was mid-conversation with somebody so couldn't come and say "Hi!".

What's the story with the car? Absolutely love them in white! Made me get my T16S out of the garage and go for a blast yesterday cloud9 I am never selling that car!

Funnily enough the Saab battery is nothing to do with me, previous owner fitted it!

Thanks for the info on the car, sounds interesting. Not too many of the white ones made IIRC. Might be worth keeping an eye out for a leather interior - although I always liked the velour. I am sure there was somebody on UKSaabs who had a source for the Carlsson decals. Does it have the red APC under the bonnet?

It does have the red APC. There are also two mystery buttons in the cabin which have been added. So far I haven't managed to figure out what they do, I need to get my multimeter out.

As for leather vs. velour, I'm actually quite taken by the velour, I'd probably consider some leather if it came up for a good price near me though.

Thanks for the tip on the decals, I might try and track them down, it'd be good to have a set even if I don't get round to having it painted for a few years.
What do the 2 switches say on them? Are they the standard square ones?

Emmett Jenner at Bromley Minis got some pinstripes for his red Carly when it was resprayed - he's ejenner on here, or find him on his own saabsite www.uksaabscentral.co.uk

now written off, didn't even get the chance to try it in anger.....anyone know of an Aero for sale?
Don't let it go mate - honestly, just bolt on parts. There are so few decent ones left and IMHO they are much better cars than the 9-5s that replaced them...

You've got both cars? Are you selling? Don't worry about it being an insurance write-off - if an indicator bulb blew it would write it off!

No, I've already got one and I've turned down my Dad's recently because it's too good just to shed around in! Just have a soft spot for these old buses and don't like seeing them scrapped frown

What's the plan? Sell the Aero as it is and replace with an all new car?

Very nice - best spec for an o-g 9-3 IMHO. Looks good with Airflow kit and double Y spokes.

Anything wrong with it? Crazy amount of car for the cash.

I would do, but it's filthy already!

This was the Ebay advert.
Very tidy - do you mind saying what you paid for it?

Looks like the twin of my CSE (but probably with all synchromesh intact and no rust wink )

Have to say, I am classic Saab guy (c900, 99, 9000) but I do like the look of some of the 9-5s and 9-3sses above. I have an itch for an e39 to replace the 9000 but a cheap 9-5 Aero could hit the spot as a daily...

Is that scarabe green? Hard to see on my phone. My dad had an early CSE 2.3T in that colour with the higher gearing and it flew!

Nice car, seriously low miles too!
