I have gathered a bit of Saab stuff. Here's some.
Keyrings. The "golden" one on the left is the Finnish Saabclub special.
*Saab 9000 Turbo 1/60. Matchbox 1987.
*Vanguards collection Saab 96 Saloon "Savannah Peige", 1/43, 2004
The cassette on the right is interesting. It contains the official song (by Mikko Alatalo, a local celebrity) for the Saab 900 racing class here in Finland.
*Burago Saab 900 Turbo "Stig Blomqvist"
* Burago Saab 900 Turbo
* Saab 900 Turbo 1/62. Nr 284 Majorette.
On the brochure I have the signature of Erik Carlsson.
*Plasto Saab 900 Cabriolet
*Saab 99 1969 1/43, Robeddie Models nr 3.
*Saab 900 Cabriolet 1995 1/43. Paul's Model Art / Minichamps
*Saab 92 "Rally" 1/43. Nr 119A. Somerville 1983.
This is possibly the most beautiful diecast Saab scale model ever produced. Even the clear frontlights actually have realistic rims!
*Saab 96 n. 1960 1/43. Corgi D711 1989.
*Saab 96 1960 1/43. Corgi D712/1 1989. "Erik Carlsson"
*Saab 96 1961 1/43. Corgi 96662 1991.
"The
Winners Limited Edition, Pat Moss"
*Saab Model Car Collection: Saab 96 Standard 1960,
Toreadorröd, Art.No. 745703
Mobilia Car Museum Saab 900 Cabriolet Turbo -badge
Saab 9000 pin (I have a few different sorts of these)
*Saab 99 1/12. Police car
*Saab 900 Turbo 1/12.
There's no manufacturer info on these plastic cars,
but they should be made by Stahlberg, Finland
*Saab 900 Turbo 1/12. (Stahlberg, Finland) Police car
*Saab 900 Turbo RC-car, Radio-Racer/Taiyo, Japan
There's no year on the car/box, but I'd guess this is about mid 80's.
A second shot out of the box. There are some color and packaging variations of this, but I think this white one is one of the coolest.
* Saab 96, Galanite Sweden
* Saab 99, Galanite Sweden
* Saab 99 Combi Coupe, Plasto Finland
* Saab 99 Combi Coupe, Plasto Finland (newer, see the fat tires)
*Saab 9-5 Aero Police Car. Junior Driver.
*Saab 900 Turbo 1/62. Nr 284 Majorette.
(There's also a variation of the black one with yellow interior).
* Found me the blue one! Not a pearl but will do.
Junior driver (Playmix)
"Collection of Finnish emergency services vehicles"
The small 1/62 scale I think. The set has a Saab 9-5 Sedan and Volvo V70 Firechief and Policecars. The funny bit of the matter is, that the Finnish police official car is Ford Mondeo, no Saabs or Volvos!
I have seen a different version of this, where there are "regular" 9-3 and 9-5 in the same box + a Volvo.
These will propably never have any real value to a collector, but it is a nice and very cheap set. There are localised versions for many countries.
*Saab 96 #827 Tekno Denmark
Possibly a restoration object.
(I'm currently practising with some old Corgi cars...)
More pics 1 2 3
* IXO Models junior 1/43 - Saab 96 V4
"S.Blomqvist - A.Hertz. Swedish Rally 1972"
Extra pic
* Corgi Saab 9000 1985
* Saab 900 by DIL
(Apparently also known as Bon Co, Made in China, 1988)
Amazing detail for "half a matchbox" size caricature.
Even the air vents are quite correct.
* Nmodell Saab 96, N-scale
Tiny but well shaped resin model. The kit has 6 pieces.
* Nmodell Saab 96 1962 kit, HO Scale (1/87)
Small but nice resin model with clear plastic windows
and photoetched grille and steering wheel.
Extra pic and finished
That's about it. I don't do the collecting too seriously though. I'm most focused on the 96, so I make an effort to get some of the most interesting ones. Other models are more on the "if it's cheap" basis...
