Apologies if this has been covered as I assume it’s well known in Saab circles.

However … I’ve been in hull working and whilst driving around we passed a house that looked like a normal, but had a number of algal saabs including what looked like a car transporter with, instead of a van cab the front end of a Saab 9-5 which seemed to have Tvr stickers on it.

Does anyone have any info on this? Sounds like it could be an interesting back story.

there has been a few of these - NG9-5 and 9000's being the most common but i seem to recall seeing verisons based on the NG9-3.

undoubtedlyalso some home brewed versions alongside the specialist conversions

i believe these guys may have been the "original" in addition to their other 6 wheeled conversions (although there may well have been private one-offs before this company entered the market).

Looks like they've diverted into other marques and kit sales as well as the engineering services.
