AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Example from its first owner, with 137,615 original kilometres covered
• Retains its period black number plates (Turin), original registration document and supplementary ownership document
• Rare MY 1982 5-door configuration with 8-valve turbo engine producing 145 hp
• Original wire-spoke wheels paired with Michelin TRX tyres with an estimated 80% tread remaining
• Active ASI certification and registration, with a generous selection of period accessories
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
Introduced in the late 1970s, the Saab 900 Turbo is considered a milestone in Swedish engineering, renowned for its distinctive aircraft-inspired design, high level of passive safety and the use of turbocharging in a production car intended for everyday use. The 5-door variant combined great versatility with the iconic turbocharged 2.0-litre, 8-valve B201 engine, fitted with a Garrett turbocharger and capable of producing 145 hp. The example offered here was registered on 14 May 1982 through the Sidauto dealership in Settimo Torinese (the historic official Italian importer) and belongs to the rare MY'82 production run, distinguished by the exclusive “Saab” badge at the front. The car had just one previous owner (born in 1942), was always kept under cover and regularly driven, covering a certified total of 137,615 kilometres. It comes with its complete original tool kit, a folder containing the owner's manual and service book, and two keys with period keyrings.
BODYWORK/PAINTWORK:
The body is finished in Slate Blue metallic (code 112) and was fully repainted several years ago due to normal wear over time; the vehicle has never been involved in any impacts or accidents. The four black plastic wheel-arch trims were recently fitted. The car is equipped with a sunroof, alloy wire-spoke wheels specific to the 1982 model year, headlamp washers and Michelin TRX tyres with an estimated 80% of tread remaining.
INTERIOR:
The cabin retains its factory configuration, with well-preserved beige velvet seat upholstery and no repairs. The dashboard is intact, with none of the typical sun-induced crazing or cracks. Equipment includes front electric windows, central locking, heated seats, four headrests, five seat belts and a battery isolator; the vehicle has never had a radio or auxiliary gas system (LPG or methane) fitted, leaving the panels free of holes for speakers or antennas. The only point to note is that the headliner is partially detached. The entire electrical system is fully operational.
MECHANICALS:
The mechanical components are in excellent running order and have been consistently maintained with regular servicing. Shortly before its recent purchase, significant preventive work was carried out, including a complete overhaul of the fuel-injection system, fuel lines and entire exhaust system, as well as replacement of all fluids and filters. The 2.0-litre, 8-valve turbo engine and 5-speed manual gearbox operate correctly. The vehicle currently has a valid roadworthiness inspection, renewed every two years.
DOCUMENTS:
The car is supplied with its original historic black number plates from the province of Turin (TO), its original period registration document, the original supplementary ownership document and its ASI historic registration certificate.
The car can be viewed and test-driven by appointment.

However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.
