A brace of Saabs, '37 Ruby'. A '96 9000 with the V6 lump (technically Linda's car) and an 06 9-3 ragtop (our second) as a retirement toy. We would much have preferred an S90/960 or a C70 (like 'ITSv40's), respectively, instead, but neither were readily available at the time.
In the light of 'Dirty Rooster's recent post upon the subject, a gentleman - completely unsolicited - offered us £300 for the 9000 only yesterday.
I didn't consider that unreasonable and it may have been just enough to be tempting had we wished to sell the car. I believe he assumed it was a non-runner without MOT and appeared surprised to learn that it was in regular use and had only recently been MOT'd. As he was at the wheel of a '17' reg Minibus, I rather doubt that he required it for banger racing.
Regards, John.
