ADELAIDE
I ran a very small “Save Saab” rally here in South Australia two years ago. Today I ran a similarly small Outside – Saab event. We began at IKEA Adelaide for breakfast at 8.45 am. Proceeded to Adelaide Saab (South Australia’s only Saab dealer) at 11.00 am. Coincidentally there’s a Mahindra dealer next door and it had an almost new 9-3X for sale. Perhaps there’s a message in that?
Anyway we then proceeded to the National Motor Museum at Birdwood, arriving just after 12.15 pm. We toured the Museum and discovered it had a white 1986 5-door 900i on display. Something we never expected. After the tour we took a few photographs. It was a warm 30 degrees Celsius Australian summers day.
We only had a total of 4 Saab’s and one car had to leave before the final leg, but we made up for the small numbers with lots of enthusiasm. We all still have great hope for Saab. It just cannot be allowed to die.
Saab Up!
Griffin Up!

We are many, we are Saab – Melbourne Australia.
This morning (15th) the Melbourne event was held at Albert park lake , where the Melbourne F1 race is held. This was a meeting point for 24 Saab owners and families , who drove their cars to the lake side car park , Saabs included a brand new Saab 9.5 Aero and a 9.3X, and a range of Saabs owned by a group of dedicated supporters added our voices in support of Saab

Anyway we proceeded to the National Motor Museum at Birdwood, arriving at around 12.15 pm. By then it was getting close to 30 degrees Celsius. We had a tour of the Motor Museum before taking a few photographs.
BTW there is a white 1986 5 door Saab 900i in the Birdwood Motor Museum.

My photos of the day. Noting there was 2 x new 9-5s present, each at a different time. I’ll correct myself from the day, the first car was not AWD as I initially thought.
