Default T16 4 door rare

Hi boys,

as some of you already know I have just found myself a "C" reg 1985 T16 4 door.......
or as the log book says 900 Turbo 4 DOHC 16 4 DOOR SALOON

its very nice in silver with red velour interior so 1980`s 8) 8) (no rust on the bodywork)

full electrics, windows,mirrors,sunroof,power steering,cruise control etc all working

bad points saggy headlining & no working heated seats thats all..

large history file from saab main dealer & "Classic 900 Ltd" in Hull serviced every 6 months etc
its had ££££££££ spent on it but its completely standard not tuned at all.....
now how many 4 door flat-fronted 900 Turbo 16v`s were imported into the UK

any ideas boys Paul

They were part of the lineup when the T16 was first introduced but were not continued - all the ones I have seen are 84/85.

Pictures!

Just out of interest this place in Hull, is there an Address? Lived there for a couple of years and don't remember seeing a place like that.

Had already read it, was doing some research

And back on topic :wink: what's your plan for it? Will the 8v take a back seat for a while? And are those driving lights original, like on a 99T?

in the US at least, 4 door 16V-turbo cars are at least as common as 3 door models, if not more so. nice looking car!

Ahh, but we has the 5-doors! Until 91 or so..

I do quite like 4-doors though, a nice refined cruiser.

Lovely car!

IIRC 900 16V 4 door saloons were only sold in '85 and '89 in Europe. So it makes them as rare as hen's teeth. Also the four door saloon models were discontinued in the European market in 1989, with only the 3/5 door and convertible version going on to '93. Most saloon models are 8Vi's or 8V turbos.I don't think there are even a lot of 16V n/a's around. 3/5 door 16V's are far more readily available in both n/a and turbo versions than the four door ever was (in Erupe that is).

I know I'm sad. ops:

Dude, I am so glad you bought that car. I had seen it on the SOC classifieds for several weeks and really liked the look of it. Fantastic that it's in the SaabCentral family 8) 8)

Can't wait to see it at one of the meets!
