Very pleased to be given the opportunity to shoot a rare Ruby edition currently on display at Gasoline Juice in Weedon, Northamptonshire, UK. A beautiful example that is looking for a new owner. Someone will be very happy. gasolinejuice.com

The last @Gasolinejuice Garage Talk Saab 900 video went down so well that we’ve done another! This time the very special and rare Ruby edition. What’s more, you could own this very car! m.youtube.com/watch?v=X0b-55…

Wow, just a couple of days in and nearly 2.5k views! Despite my appearance in the video, the 900T16S still manages to attract a global following. Not bad for an odd-ball car from a long-gone car manufacturer. @SaabOwnersClub m.youtube.com/watch?v=9EEqii…

Join me as I talk to car designer Cesar Pieri, about my Saab Classic 900 T16S. I hate appearing on camera, but it’s an opportunity to plug my book ICON on the T16S! m.youtube.com/watch?v=9EEqii… @SaabPlanet @SaabOwnersClub @PaulCowland_

Saab number 3. Sometimes I think I may have ‘issues’. But then I remember @PaulCowland_ ‘s collection and I realise I’m probably ok 😂

A nice surprise. The designer of the T16S, Geoff Wardle, sent me a package from California containing one of my books along with another he contributed to.  Initially, I wondered why he had sent my book back, and then I opened it… Book still available abtech84.co.uk

The 900 tucked up in its new home. Now longer in a storage location. Not as spacious, but much easier to use the car now it lives with me.

A small Saab 900 Christmas meet.

With the original ICON now out of print, a smaller, less expensive book is now available. It’s available as print on demand - so no waiting for preorders. It might be smaller but it does have a couple of extra pages.Available from abtech84.co.uk soon.

Delighted to see a piece I wrote about British design influence in Saab has been translated into Swedish and featured in Saab Cars magazine. Looking forward to receiving my copy.

Full NEC Classic Motor Show video now on YouTube. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZuwZh…

Slowly recovering from the @ClassicMotorNEC last weekend. A few more photos to share.

Day 1 complete at the @ClassicMotorNEC . Very different stand to normal with four 900 models to celebrate 40 years of Turbo 16 power. With the Classic Motor Show also celebrating 40 years, it ties in beautifully. @SaabOwnersClub

Fresh on for the @ClassicMotorNEC, new stripes! #MayUpsetPurists

Set up day complete at the @ClassicMotorNEC . Want to see what we’ve got in store… m.youtube.com/watch?v=grRFY0… @SaabOwnersClub

Perfect timing or sleepless nights worrying if stock of ICON - the Saab 900 T16S story - would be delivered in time for the NEC Classic Show. I’ll let you decide!

Celebrating 40 years of turbo-16 power at the NEC Classic Motor Show from this Friday. On display will be an early and rare MY84 model, alongside the run-out Ruby. Pick up a free badge and help spread the love of Saab and what a truly forward-thinking manufacturer it was.
