Description
Showing just 25,143 miles;
the current V5C records only one former keeper; powered by the marque's
characterful 1,985cc turbocharged petrol engine, coupled to a five-speed manual
gearbox
Few modern convertibles offer quite the same blend of
performance, practicality and individuality as the Saab 9-3 SE Turbo. Built
during a period when Saab still marched to the beat of its own drum, the 9-3
combined distinctive Scandinavian design, impressive safety credentials and
strong turbocharged performance to create a genuinely appealing open-top grand
tourer.
First registered in August 2000, this Saab 9-3 SE Turbo is
powered by the marque's characterful 1,985cc turbocharged petrol engine, coupled
to a five-speed manual gearbox. Offering strong performance along with the
effortless mid-range punch for which Saab turbo models are renowned, it remains
an enjoyable and highly usable modern classic.
Finished in bright
metallic silver with a contrasting black hood and dark grey leather interior,
the car presents attractively and benefits from a timeless colour combination
that suits its elegant lines perfectly.
Most impressive of all is the
mileage, with the odometer showing just 25,143 miles from new. Supporting this
remarkably low figure is a comprehensive history file, while the current V5C
records only one former keeper, suggesting careful ownership throughout its
life.
The accompanying paperwork includes the V5C, an MOT valid until
March 2027, five previous MOT certificates, the original handbook pack and an
exceptional 16 service stamps, providing reassuring evidence of regular
maintenance despite the car's limited use.
As surviving Saab convertibles
become increasingly scarce, low-mileage examples with such an impressive history
are particularly difficult to find. Combining turbocharged performance, open-top
enjoyment, low ownership and exceptionally low mileage, this handsome 9-3
represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a highly original example
of one of Sweden's most characterful modern classics.
A smart,
well-documented and remarkably low-mileage Saab that looks ready to be enjoyed
with the hood down and the turbo on song.
