The last 78 cars produced include 9-4X SUVs and 9-5 Sportkombi estates
An auction of the final 78 Saab cars produced begins today in Sweden. It has been commissioned by Saab's bankruptcy receivers and follows the huge success of a similar sale at the end of last year.
Amongst the lots are 31 9-4X SUVs, seven 9-5 Sportkombi estates and 37 of the 54 9-5 saloons built for the 2012 model year. Saab produced 700 9-4Xs and only around 30 9-5 Sportkombis, so all the cars have significant rarity value. Also included in the sale are a 9-3X and a six-cylinder diesel 9-5 saloon.
Per Blomberg of Swedish auction house KVD said: “The interest [in the last sale] was enormous, both in Sweden and internationally. With the last cars now being sold we expect an equally high level of interest from Saab enthusiasts.”
The auction runs until 3 April and the cars can be viewed from Friday 22 March in Wallhamn, near Gothenburg. Details of each car can be found on the KVD website.
