Some original alloys on that would look great.
Sills do need some inspection on these, this is how I know,

That was very similar to a close friend of mine's experience too.Sills do need some inspection on these, this is how I know,

I think it's fairly universal with these cars (at leas, those that that haven't been apart and rebuilt with waxoyl or chain lube or whatever inside the sills).
Lovely cars, though. Worth the effort to sort out if you can find a good enough/cheap enough one to start with.

Bonus points for using a vintage digital compact camera to complete the look.W00DY said:
These early Espaces are great, and increasingly rare. The earliest Phase 1 cars look sharper, but even harder to find now. I had no desire for one until we had one as a work hack some years ago (one of our directors got a new one and her old one was kept on as a pool car). It was a lovely thing to bomb about in. Slim A-pillars far away from the driver makes for superb visibility and it was a comfy, practical old bus.

I like that too. Three door, comfy velour seats, massive black bumpers, period-appropriate colour. That’s enough “proper Saab” stuff for me, without all the flaky s
t you got on the old ones

I'm not in the slightest a fan of the new generation Saab 900 but that one up there looked good at £700 , only 54000 miles .
MOT history very clean ,not a single advisory for it's entire history ,one fail for a broken spring .
Seller should have put a new MOT on it though ,rather than sell with 4 weeks remaining .

I popped it in the barge thread, but it suits here too. Looks really clean and a good buy if it stays near the opening bid.I am a major Espace/Matra nerd now....and this popped up....

I recall driving a turbo Espace from Northern France to the alps one year, trying to keep the dash on exactly 130kph while the family slept. It had no cruise control, and combining about 4s of turbo lag with hills made it quite challenging to maintain exactly 130 for hour upon hour.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313543765813?fbclid=IwA...

These are great value at £2K. Expect prices to head north like Z4s, S2000s and Boxsters did. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124753119451
