Hi there, you've found my personal Saab C900 page. I live in Sydney Australia with my family and I'm a fan of Saab cars, especially Saab 'Classic' 900-series family of cars which were produced between 1979 and 1993!

[ Saab became part of GM in 1990 and in 1994 released 'next-generation' 900's (based on a shared GM 'global' design spec) known as NG900's or GM900's - they are not covered here. Saab's 9000-series (initially designed as a joint-partnership with Fiat/Lancia/Alfa-Romeo) cars built between 1985 and 1998 are covered by another of my websites (refer to the note below for extra info). ]

In addition to my growing archive of personal Saab projects that feature via links from this page, you're encouraged to explore my fully public-domain and non-commercial Craig's Classic Saab Workshop website as well and enjoy! All of my Saab-related websites are all proudly hosted right here in Australia by APANA Sydney. You are also encouraged to check out my collection of Saab images at Flickr.

Additionally, please visit the Saab Car Club of Australia to learn more about what our national Australian Saab owners club has to offer! One benefit of club membership is discounts at certain Saab dealers and repair agents, and the club publishes it's highly-regarded 'SaabMissions' magazine at regular intervals.

European Car Club of Australia You may also be interested to explore the European Car Club of Australia which covers all makes/models of European car (including Saab's!).

If you are trying to find Saab C900, 99, or 9000 parts, check out my Stuff 4 Sale page and you may find what you're looking for though this doesn't get updated very much unless I am currently stripping one or more cars down for parts.

The table below indexes the modification/upgrade/repair projects I've conducted since becoming a die-hard (yes, in true Bruce Willis style!) Saab C900 enthusiast (read 'fanatic'!):

NOTE from above: Saab's 9000-series cars were started off as a joint partnership between Saab/Fiat/Lancia/Alfa-Romeo and were built between 1985 and 1998. GM initiated a significant cosmetic re-design for 9000's built from the 1993 build year and continued building 9000's until 1998. The 9000's are supported by a dedicated mailing list, a seperate webring, and are the subject of my personal Saab 9000 site!
