Great interest in auction of unique Saabs

Sveriges Radio was at the viewing of some of the Saabs that are being auctioned. The KVD webite shows viewing days are on December 8 and 9 so perhaps this was just a preview for the media.
Translation from the article on Sveriges Radio:
Some of the last bits of carmaker Saab's future dreams are now on sale. It's about 68 unique Saabs as bankruptcy trustees are now selling. Despite the bankruptcy, interest is very big.
It has been a huge interest. We have had over 100,000 website visitors in that particular auction. It visited from Sweden, but much from abroad as well. Both Germany and the U.S. in particular, but also other countries, says Day Thyselius who works at the auction firm. Inside a warehouse in Wallhamn on Tjörn are 15 of the 68 Saab cars that are now up for sale at auction.
These cars were seen as a Saab rescue and future. Perhaps there is a car that is particularly eyebrow-raising. This is Victor Muller's company car, says Day Thyselius, pointing to a black 9-5 Sedan that is fully equipped. - There is great interest. There will be an extra interest for it.
Among the cars, all are Saab's latest models and then 9-5 SportCombi that were never delivered to Saab dealers. The model is not type-registrered which means that it can not be driven on public roads. The learning never be accepted afterwards either.
Some cars are unique, says Peter Bäckström, who works at the Saab Car Museum. "What stands out is obviously the SportCombi 9-5 cars. Then there is 9-4 X-cars made for Saab in Mexico. It's cars that have not been seen on the road that much and there are those that are really unique" says Backstrom.
Those who eventually have the highest bids for the auction that ends on the 15th and 16th December, buy a car without a warranty. - All cars are bought without guarantees, says Day Thyselius.
