The first Saab automobile, the Saab 92, started design in 1945 as the Ursaab (Base Saab) and came into production in 1949. The Saab 92, designed with aeroplane roots had a 750 cc two-cylinder, two-stroke engine, a drag coefficient of 0.32 and a safety cage surrounding its passengers, a first in automotive design. Saab entered the Saab 92 in racing in 1950 and continued racing until 1980.
Hello, Mike, and all other Independence enthusiasts!
I am the proud owner of no. 4. Delivered in Italy and exported to The Netherlands in 2014 by KC Performance, a Saab performance specialist. They tuned the car a bit ( -projects/article/114-saab-9-3-independence :-).
I bought the car in excellent condition end 2018 as my daily driver and covered some 40.000km with it, bringing the car to a total of 260.000km. Apart from overhauling the automatic transmission this summer, the car is trouble free as you can expect from a well taken care of Saab.
In short, its my fastest, classiest and most beautiful car I ever had! Apart from my car, I believe there are three other Saab Independence Edition in The Netherlands.
