The seller offers for sale this 1993 Saab 900 Turbo 16S Cabriolet, powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This example is finished in dark blue with a beige leather interior and black soft top, and has been in the hands of the same private owner since 2003. According to the seller, only around 20,000 km were added during that long period of ownership, with the car kept off the road for lack of covered storage rather than any mechanical reason, and it is now being offered for sale alongside another Saab cabriolet from the same collection.
Introduced in 1978, the Saab 900 became one of the defining cars of the brand, combining Saab’s aircraft-influenced engineering with distinctive, slightly eccentric styling. The Turbo models, and later the 16-valve “16S” derivative introduced in the mid-1980s, gave the 900 genuine performance credentials, with a turbocharged engine that delivered strong, characterful power delivery. The Cabriolet version, launched in 1986, extended that formula to an open-top body style, engineered with a reinforced structure to maintain the rigidity expected of a Saab despite the loss of a fixed roof, and quickly became one of the most recognisable convertibles of the 1980s and early 1990s.
On the road, the 900 Turbo 16S Cabriolet offers a distinctive blend of turbocharged performance and open-air motoring, with the low-slung dashboard, ignition switch mounted on the centre console and wraparound windscreen that remain hallmarks of Saab’s design philosophy from this era. For enthusiasts of characterful 1980s and 1990s performance convertibles, this Cabriolet offers the appeal of long-term single ownership combined with a genuinely usable turbocharged drivetrain, making it a compelling entry point into modern Saab classic ownership.
