The opening line of this Saab 900 Turbo thread should be plenty enough to lure you in. It reads "My wife has bought this. I may have married the right woman!" In between those two sentences sits a picture of a Saab 900 Turbo and, well - what more do you need to know?
The words have been written by PHer 'Spinakerr', who started this thread last weekend to document the early stages of life with a 1986 Saab 900 Turbo. In fact, the thread is such a good yarn (about what must now be a very rare car) that we just had to bestow Reader's Car of the Week status on it.
Without wishing to spoil the surprise, the 900 Turbo was purchased from a Saab enthusiast but had been stored for goodness-knows how long outside. Despite that, there was plenty to be encouraged by with the car for both Mr and Mrs Spinakerr, the Saab is now in their care and being brought back to its best.
For now that's included a new battery to resolving a slow starting issue, sorting the vast array of spares that came with the Saab and very thorough clean inside and out. While not perfect, it's easy see the appeal in a 900 Turbo - distinctive, interesting and innovative, there's evidently an awful lot to like. To Mr and Mrs Spinakerr, we're eager to see what happens with the Saab next!
