1990 Saab 900i Convertible Automatic

Highlights

• Well preserved and very original 900i
• Only three registered keepers from new
• Bulletproof 2L slant four engine and 3spd auto box
• Stylish four seat convertible in good order
• Recent replacement tyres
• Current MOT to May 2027

The Appeal

The list of classic open-top cars that can properly seat four people tends to be a short one and at the top of it, or certainly very near it, is Saab’s ultra-durable classic 900. Lopping the roof off the popular two-door saloon created a stylish drop-top with the sort of character and ingenuity that few contemporaries can match.

Saab offered its bulletproof 2L ‘slant four’ 16V engine in many guises. This 1990 convertible has the naturally aspirated 130bhp version, mated to a relaxing auto box. It is a very tidy and apparently original three-keeper car. The bodywork presents well in the usual 900 check areas, and the car has recently fitted tyres. There is an advisory to note on the MOT, but with test to May 2027, there is plenty of time for the buyer to consider how they want to deal with it.
