Thanks Roy - it's getting better and better every day. Lots to do...

was last seen many years ago in Tasmania and is been prepared for display for the 2011 Targa in Tasmania.

The Targa Tasmania is in April but I didn't see any entry details for this Saab 900 Enduro yet. Hopefully it's still going to make it.

omaroo... any reason you sold your other Enduro for your current one?

Not completely sure whether it was being prepared as a race vehicle or support. Maybe they came across issues or something. I'll endeavour to find out...

Hi Mike

Well, I sold my Marble White one because I didn't think that I'd ever have adequate time and resources to do its rebuild justice in the short term - so I made sure that that it went to someone who most definitely did.

That was on a Thursday.

The following Saturday (I kid you not) the original owner of my Aquamarine Blue one contacted me out of the blue after 8 years and offered me that car. It's in generally better condition than the Marble White, so I figured that I couldn't let it go because I'd never, ever, see another - so the deal was done and my interest was completely re-kindled once more. The Aquamarine one is now on the road and doing great. I had a realy top day in it the other day with the Saab Club here in Sydney, and found out what the extra 9 inches of rear and 4 of front track does to the cornering through the twisties. Wow... the day is described here:

Cool, you are probably the only person to have owned two!

[omaroo]

Almost... the bloke I bought mine from (8 years apart) owned both of them first... Lucky thing - he'd had them from new! I can't begin to imagine the buzz it would have caused when he and his wife turned up in them at events.

Just in case an Enduro owner needs some spare parts: http://saabworld.net/f149/australia-...poilers-30872/

Or put these on a regular Saab 900? I am curious about what happened to this particular Enduro in the ad.

The www.saab900enduro.com website seems to be gone. Too bad, I think there was quite some useful and interesting information on there.

Are these Enduros still going strong?
