It sounds like that II Antique Saab Convention in Poland over the weekend was a big success. There were around 160 Saabs in attendance with 60 or so of those being of the vintage kind. The show was held in Mosina, a town of just 12,000 people, so it’s no surprise that the near-200 cars [...]
UPDATE: I have received email from Victor Muller directly, stating that he has been misquoted by NRC Handelsblad. He has provided the following clarification: …..I said that Antonov lent me – read Tenaci capital BV – the 74M euro (so not dollars) required to pay for half of the first instalment (so 50% of 50M [...]

I posted the story myself, then added an update when I heard from Sweden that this is something [...]
I first heard from Lars S a few weeks ago. He was about to buy a black Saab 9-3 from his local dealer and was quite excited about it. He’s got it now and has sent through one of my favourite ever owners reviews: —— Now I’ve had the car for a couple of weeks [...]
In an extraordinarily frank interview with NRC-Handelsblad, Victor Muller has virtually disclosed that the GM/US government hand wringing over the sale of Saab was more or less an exercise for public display rather than any genuine concern. You might recall that when GM and Spyker were in initial discussions about the sale of Saab, any [...]

According to the [...]
