One of the biggest Saab fans in the world has just received his 9-3 Independence Edition Convertible. That person is Mr Vladimir Antonov, it was delivered by SaabCity Group. In the Saab City Group there are two Saab main Dealer operations,one close to the City of London near Tower Bridge in East London and the other in Fulham, West London. Here is a link to the dealership: http://www.saabcity.co.uk/

Let me take you back to February last year and a quote from Victor Muller (direct to me via email).
I propose to call the actual closing day, which will be in the coming week, Independance Day and celebrate it year after year. vic
Exactly what this will look like is a little unclear at this point. But it seems there are plans afoot to celebrate Saab’s independence with a limited number of cars created especially for the occasion. The name “Independence Day Edition” is what I’ve heard but is not definite.
The whispers that I’ve heard indicate only the following.
There will be a limited edition of 365 vehicles, plus one for the number of years independent from GM. So for 2011 there will be 365+1 Independence Day Edition vehicles produced. For 2012 there will be 365+2, etc.
Initial indications are that the Saab 9-5 will be included but things were a little fuzzy as to whether the Saab 9-3 would be included as well (i.e. a mixture of 9-5 and 9-3, totalling 366 in all for 2011).
I’ll keep you posted if I hear any more, but they sound interesting. The anniversary of Saab’s independence from GM is on February 23, 2011.
