2944 Saab Original Photos uploaded
February 12, 2012 in Archive
It’s done… A few weeks ago Saab’s media site was closed down to the public, but before they were able to close it down, I was able to grab all the photos, press-releases etc. It will now all be available here on SaabsUnited, preserved in time for history! So over the past weeks I have been uploading 2944 original Saab photos, including some that were only offered on GM’s media site. A lot more stuff of historical value is scheduled for upload as well including videos and historical documents.
They are all located in the resources tab above under the link “Saab Original Photos“. Enjoy! =)

Did Sweden sign ACTA?
Seriously though, great job, so many thanks. Am I the only person feeling as if we were collectively going through a late person’s things, reminiscing about them and coming to terms with their departure?

Thanks, they’re a great value to us Saab lovers.

Thank you for your work. A great collection. The Aero X and the 9-X Air – I miss them on the roads.

Glad to hear they were all fetched. How about some of the videos? I along with a couple of other fellow members managed to get some of the photos and videos. They were uploaded here:
http://koga.hu/tmp/saabmedia/
Under my section, the first directory, there is everything for the new 9-5 2010. In there are all of the videos for that. They had some pretty amazing videos so I hope they were also retrieved. Regardless, some are uploaded there.

I’m guessing TimR will be uploading those as well later on. Good job btw!
I’m working on mirroring the SU photos to my site as well as added a few things from other sources. Will be sharing it once it’s ready for the public, currently it’s very much under construction.

Wonderful!
Any chance of a torrent? I’d hate to see your bandwidth costs explode.

Thanks Tim!
I did this myself back in December 2009 / January 2010.
JH said on February 12, 2012
Fantastic work Tim!
It must have taken a lot of time to do this, but these pictures are really worth saving. Thank you!
Smithy said on February 12, 2012
Much appreciated!
Beakon said on February 12, 2012
Wheren’t there any images on the concept cars 9-x and 93-x Concept ? The “original” small three door models ?

Seen four not fully uploaded/downloaded photo’s in the 92 and 96 section (hope that’s fixable sometime in the future).
TimR said on February 12, 2012

KoGa said on February 12, 2012

What a hell of a job this must have been!
It’s great to see all those SAAB’s and in which way i can give a compliment, i will do that to those who have done this fantastic job!
Turbo9000 said on February 12, 2012
Thanks for this important work!
(No images of the 9-7X..?)
TimR said on February 12, 2012
There are now =)
akis96 said on February 13, 2012
Thanks! Great job!
Just please don’t save all the data at mega-upload or some other plattform that’s getting busted…
TimR said on February 13, 2012
It’s all saved locally on SU’s server! and we’ve got at least 5 backups on different computers =)
Pacey said on February 13, 2012
great work SU.
saabyurk said on February 13, 2012
Fantastic work! Thanks! Now, where will I find the time to look at 2,944 photos? I’m getting old.
JP said on February 13, 2012
Thank you so much, Tim. Exceptional!
Tilley said on February 13, 2012
No early 9000′s (’86-’88)? Or am I looking in the wrong place?
Tilley said on February 13, 2012
By the way, awesome job, thank you!
3cyl said on February 13, 2012
Thanks, Tim. Your dedication is appreciated.
Looked at all the pics. Is there any car that embodies Scandanavian design more than the 99?
M.A. said on February 13, 2012
Very good Job!!!. Thanks.
george said on February 13, 2012
There is a backup of the original media and newsroom-site online; and it’s the last version that was online. We did managed to save as much as possible. It’s only purpose is to preserve some of the “online Saab heritage”.
Great work by the SU-team for saving so much images and putting them online.
The archive can be found at Saab Web Archive

Link isn’t working like it should be

KoGa said on February 13, 2012
It seems like the Asset Library is not working perfectly though. Is that only for me or your archive is not complete?
george said on February 15, 2012
The asset library isn’t working because of the scripts that could not be downloaded from the original site. It’s just an impression of what kind of information was available at the media-site

Looks a bit like my Saab 9-5, but my 9-5 is dark green and has wheels with more spokes.
