I sold my unmolestered and completely original Turbo 2000 last year to help quickly raise cash for a "once in a lifetime purchase" but it fell through. I said to the guy that if he decides to sell, let me know. Anyway, last Friday I was looking through my car pictures and I sent a text to him saying I miss it blah blah. 2 days later he lets me know it's for sale and we agreed a price I couldn't refuse. It's still all original too and unmolestered . I wasn't going to sell it to anyone who had the intention of chavving it up.

Just got back from collecting it this even and it drives as tight as a nut.

A stop at the services to refuel.... It's a hell of a lot more nimble and quicker off the line than my 9-5 Aero that's for sure (which is no slouch either) It feels great to be back in the seat. Insurance is a killer though . Still keeping the 9-5 Aero as a daily driver.






When I owned her from 2014-2015:

 

good on you pal looks clean too

 

Welcome back, very clean looking scoob

 

Something wrong with my computer monitor I suspect, because it's making the front number plate on your Saab look very small and very daft indeed. Stupid computer.


Scoob looks lovely!

 

Haha I had a matching small one on the Subaru which suited really well. Old owner fitted a normal legal front plate.

 

That's a lovely original motor.
These are the ones that will hold their value in the future.

 

Nice, Straight, Origonal car

 

Once a chav......


We've all been there!

 

Thanks . Still got the smaller plate but not sure it's worth the bother/risk. I've never been stopped but hey ho.

 

Nice to see you both reunited Mr Sherratt

 

Round here I'd have been stopped with a plate like that before I left my driveway! haha.


Anyhow, back on track with the tread. Really lovely classic. Nice to see such a tidy standard example. You've got to be pleased with that.

 

I am indeed. It will rise in value if kept original and with milage kept lowish. It's on 83k miles. As much as I want to drive it, I sort-of don't as I don't like to get it dirty .

 

Just drive it and enjoy it you big tart!

 

Lovely car. Have you tried Gary at Keith Michaels for your insurance. I started a fresh policy with him on a classic a few years ago, think it was roughly 400 notes

 

Glad you got it back. Now keep it this time.

 

I'm with Adrian Flux. £439 new policy, 25 years old.
