Good one, Audax.

I was going to post here too. I hope it hasn't been spotted in the previous pages, but watching the fantasy nonsense film from 2013 on BBC last night, "Thor - The Dark World", the final scenes involved mayhem and destruction at Greenwich, and an early 9-3 yellow convertible was in several shots being bashed around.

9-3 in "Filth" with James McAvoy

A friend in Oz has posed this question.  I have to admit than it means little to me

My question for the entire club....does Andrew Lincoln have or did he gave a Saab when in 'This Life' or 'Teachers' before US money drew him in?

Anyone know the answer?

Henry Crabbe drives a Saab 900 in 'Pie in The Sky'

Lets not forget Richard Pryor's Moving (1988 film) where SAAB 900 is pretty much the supporting actor. The film was pretty funny and it was also Pryor's last starring role. Take note, the end for the car was not pretty though.. lol

Here's an odd one, "Drive my car" a Japanese film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BPKPb_RTwI

Has been really well reviewed and won a few awards! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_My_Car_(film)

I have read that although the Saab features prominently throughout the film Saab is not actually mentioned at all.

Crikey, seven years since a post on this topic.
On television, the latest Rebus series on BBC. Rebus fans will know he drives a Saab. In this reboot, it's a blue diesel 9-3SS. There's a closeup of the boot badge in one episode, but I can't remember what it showed as the exact model. The reg is BF09YVY, and the Gov website shows it dates from March 2009, with over 106k on the clock and an interesting history. It's common for fictitous reg plate numbers to be used in TV series - Line of Duty to name one - but this is genuine.  It's taxed and MOT'd until next April/March, so presumably still on the road.

There's a closeup in the final episode of the rear offside door, the vertical alloy divider between the main window and the quarterlight is badly corroded under the paint coating, like door mirror housings tend to go.
