Saabs gathering – UK
July 17, 2009 in Archive
This selection of Saabs got together at the Preston Bissett village fete in the UK. It wasn’t a Saab show of any type, rather it was more of a vintage car show. There were plenty of Saabs to be seen, though.
The show was held on the village cricket ground, so I assume there were some Australian cars on the sidelines waiting to run rings around those in attendance ![]()
The ground adjoins the home of one of Saab GB’s former employees, who’s now become the guru for all two-stroke owners in the UK.

A couple of Saab 93s in attendance, including one with suicide doors.

A young whippersnapper Saab 99. This car belongs to Dave R, who sent the photos in to me. It’s a car I had the pleasure of driving in Sweden back in 2007.

No they weren’t selling cars for 50p. Just a little fundraiser. The eventual winner was a Daimler Dart.
