This 1991 Saab 900 Turbo SPG is one of only 109 produced in Beryl Green during the model’s final year in production and has just over 91k miles on its 2.0L turbocharged inline four and 5-speed manual gearbox. This high-performance variant of the 900 Turbo was produced from 1985-1991 and offered more power, improved aerodynamics, factory suspension upgrades and anti-lock braking. Purchased new by the seller’s enthusiast father-in-law at age 60, this example is described as largely unmodified aside from a handful of Abbott Racing performance upgrades as detailed below. Recent work includes replacement of the headliner and door panels. The car is sold with a clean Carfax report and a clean Maryland title.

Beryl Green finish is thought to remain original everywhere but on the rear hatch lid and hood, where the seller believes paintwork took place in preparation for a 2006 concours event. The car has reportedly not seen inclement weather since, and flaws are reportedly limited to occasional nicks and a small blemish on the passenger-side fender as shown below. The seller reports no accidents and a lifetime of indoor storage, including in his heated and humidity-controlled garage for the last six years.

Lower cladding included a deepened front air dam for SPG cars along with subtle fender lips. Flat SPG-specific 15″ three-spoke wheels were designed to reduce drag and are devoid of marks or scratches according to the seller, while Swedish Gislaved rubber dates from 2004. Several photos show the condition of the late-model flush headlamps, taillights, and bi-color corner markers. Glass is all OEM according to the seller, and window etchings are detailed in close-up images.

Upholstered in grey “Bridge of Weir” leather, the front seats were kept under sheepskin covers by the original owner, and the sculpted rear bench exhibits similar condition. Carpeting is protected by a set of all-weather floor mats. The headliner and rear sail panels have just been replaced to address sagging, and the door panels are also new. Standard equipment for the Turbo SPG cars included heated front seats, cruise control, power windows, and central locking. The dash top is described as crack-free due to minimal UV exposure, while the glovebox door shows subtle bubbling.

The factory leather-wrapped wheel was equipped with an airbag by 1991 to replace the motorized seatbelts of earlier cars. Colorful instrumentation includes an odometer reading 91k miles along with a boost gauge and the 140 mph speedometer featured only on 1991 Turbo SPG models. A factory Clarion cassette deck resides in the dash along with an optional graphic equalizer, though it will reportedly need a dealer code to function. The air conditioning system does not presently blow cold, though a new OEM A/C compressor clutch is included in the sale.

The storage area is said to remain in good condition beneath its vinyl-lined hatch door. An intact parcel shelf raises to reveal a large cargo area which has been protected by a factory mud guard. The space-saver spare tire beneath has never seen use according to the seller.

The 2.0L B202 16-valve inline-four came turbocharged and intercooled from the factory, while an upgraded ECU from Abbott Racing reportedly provides a performance boost over its stock 175 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. An open-filament air cleaner has replaced the original airbox and a larger delivery pipe has been installed along with an Abbott chargecooler system and thermal wrapping on the turbo down pipe. A governor switch is reportedly provided to cut power to factory levels, and the stock ECU is included in the sale.

Power is sent to the front wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. Several underside photos detail condition of the floors, chassis rails, and exhaust system. A low-mounted Stebel Nautilus air horn has replaced the original and is directed at the ground for sound dispersal. Driven little from 2007 onward, the car was serviced in 2015 by a local Saab mechanic familiar with both the car and its original owner. Work included draining of the fuel tank along with replacement of all fluids and fresh spark plugs. Now driven occasionally in nice weather, the car is said to run and shift well with plenty of power according to the seller.

The brief Carfax report includes just four entries since 1992 and indicates no accidents or other issues. The seller is a fellow long-term Saab enthusiast who describes his father in law as a meticulous owner who had service performed at a single specialist throughout his ownership, though he has since passed away and service records have proven difficult to locate. The sale includes a clean title in the name of the seller’s wife.
