This verona green 96 has only 51,000 miles (sorry Olive).

Sadly low mileage = lack of use which = problems with the brakes.

I can supply reconditioned master cylinders, callipers and wheel cylinders as well as new brake hoses and hand brake cables.

I have good second hand drums but sadly no discs at the moment.

Drop me a line if you need your V4 brakes sorting.

There are some good 9000s left!

When fitting new front brake hoses on a V4 don't forget the little copper washer between the hose and the calliper.

In twenty years I've never had a problem with using the old one!

(apologies for the rubbish photo!)

This is Olive, a particularly nice old 96 in my favourite colour of verona green.

Sometimes I get a V4 in and you can just tell that the indicated 104,000 miles is genuine, Not 204,000 or 504,000! The seats aren't shot and the suspension doesn't crash and groan over speed-humps.

Olive is one of those! A lovely old car with an excellent owner.

Aladdin's cave

Recently a new female customer took one look around my workshop and said; "I've worked in mental health for twenty five years and I know a hoarder when I see one!"

She probably wasn't wrong........

But what could be bad for my mental health is good for you if you have an old Saab.

This picture shows the inside of one of my four lock-ups and, yes, all those boxes contain bits of old Saab.

So if you have a V4, 99, classic 900 or 9000 and you need a part please email me to see if I have it.

Saab 9-3 convertible for sale

I have two manual 9-3 convertibles for sale.

They are both being extensively refurbished.

The silver one is a Turbo with the desirable "air-flow" body kit. It has a grey leather interior and 108,600 miles.

 The green one is a non-turbo. It has a very nice light tan leather interior and only 86,000 miles.

The silver one will be starting at about £2,500 and the green one at about £1,500.

Either one can be enhanced with a new hood, different alloys or Abbott Racing upgrades (etc.) to your spec.

Please phone or email for more information. 020 8892 3232 saabdoctor@saabv4.co.uk

If a car ever had fitness for purpose in this weather it's the Saab 99.

There is plenty of traction with all the weight over the front (driven) wheels and the skinny (165-15) tyres grip well. There is also an excellent heater/ventilation system to keep it warm and the windows clear and excellent visibility.

Provided you've got a good battery and plenty of anti-freeze they love it!

I'd chose a 99 over a 900 in the snow any day. This one is still for sale (please see my May 2011 post http://saabdoctor.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/saab-99-1983-for-sale.html ) 

Classic 900 spares available.

I have tons of 900 spares as well as a huge stock of V4 & 99 parts.

These two have gone to the crusher but I'm currently breaking a LPT Aero three door.

I also have GM900, 9-3 & 9-5 parts.

Please get in touch if you need anything.
