The seller offers for sale this 1992 Saab 900i 16, powered by a 2.0-litre 16-valve four-cylinder engine, paired with a manual transmission. Finished in dark blue metallic paintwork with a black power-operated soft top, the car sits on multi-spoke alloy wheels and is fitted with grey and blue cloth sports seats, a dashboard and steering wheel typical of the model, and the distinctive “900i 16” badging on the tailgate and engine cover confirming the 16-valve specification. The seller reports 237,000 km on the odometer and states that the vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness inspection.
The seller notes a visible dent to the left front wing area, which can clearly be seen in the accompanying photos, along with some other cosmetic wear consistent with the car’s age and mileage. The soft top is described by the seller as operating electrically.
Introduced in 1978, the Saab 900 became one of the most distinctive cars of its era, instantly recognisable for its wraparound windscreen, aircraft-inspired cockpit and reinforced safety cell, all developed from Saab’s aerospace heritage. The cabriolet version arrived in 1986, developed in cooperation with ASC in the United States, and quickly became a symbol of 1980s and early 1990s motoring, admired for combining open-top driving with the model’s famously solid, safety-oriented construction. Later in the model’s life the 16-valve cylinder head, as fitted to this car, was introduced to sharpen performance over the original 8-valve engine while retaining the model’s easy-going, everyday usability.
Design and engineering went hand in hand on the 900: the long, sloping bonnet and low beltline give an unmistakable silhouette, while the transverse-mounted engine, front-wheel drive layout and torsion-beam rear suspension were engineered for confident, secure handling. Combined with its rarity as a cabriolet today, the 900i 16 remains a sought-after choice for collectors and enthusiasts of distinctive 1990s convertibles.
