The car looked even better in the flesh - IntSAAB2016 methinks ;-)

Leaf him alone  ;D

Not usually a great fan of the Sportswagon, but must say this one spotted at IntSAAB was stunning.

I think that colour is Pepper Green.  I've seen it on a 9-5 and it looks quite good on that too.

In my pictures, the middle one was at IntSaab in Vadstena.  The top one was taken on the way home after we had visited Stockholm and the bottom one was taken near Warwick, in the garden of my daughter-in-law's family home.

I must have a thing about castles...

That's a lovely colour..

The Dame Edna front has matured well - and this is a beautiful example of a handsome car.

Yes, it's an iconic colour for a SAAB.
Another DE. On our way back from IntSAAB we stopped at the now almost abandoned SAAB factory  :'(

That really is a nice 9-3 Sportwagon and what a shine it has got on it!!!!!!! I must admit I never thought i'd have one but I really like it now and am glad I got the newer model with the more aggressive front - really does look mean. Only thing I have noticed is I cannot get items in the back anything like what I did in my 9-5 estate - that was cavernous with seat squabs removed; doors fitted in a treat whereas with 9-3 I have to slide passenger seat right forwards tight and wind seatback forwards - any passenger has to sit behind driver.

Looks like your enjoying your DE 9-5 David

Hi Jim

Yes I have got use to the front of the 9.5, it's OK  though I don't think I will ever get to love it.

If you need plenty of rear legroom and must have a SAAB, how about one of these  ;D

That does make me chuckle..................... is that Jezzer taking a picture? Sort of thing they'd have had on TG. Although I don't always agree with what they used to say I did enjoy watching it as an entertaining programme.

I visited a client recently and they looked at me and said 'at what age as an architect do you have to own a Saab....' I just laughed and said mine began in about 1999...............................

No it was at IntSAAB, though now you mention it, he does look very similar. As for the Architect SAAB owner, mine began in 1981 with the 99T... and I am a designer by profession. Some more pics of the SAAB for your enjoyment!
