Today a Swedish law firm called Delphi has published details on their liquidation the entire collection of 100+ cars belonging to the Saab Heritage Museum in Trollhatten, Sweden. Their site says this is part of the bankruptcy filing of the manufacturer, and the attorneys are taking written bids on the collection, as a whole or individually, via mail or fax by this Friday, January 20th.

The cars included are everything from the 1946 Ur-Saab to two 1950’s Sonett roadsters to factory race cars to recent show prototypes. If this offer checks out, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Saab freaks, and marque fans hope that they can be kept together in some form instead of scattered around the world. Find more info from the translated Swedish documents and contact information after the jump! Special thanks to BaT reader Paul J. for this submission!

Full info on Saab receivership is referenced both on http://www.konkursboet.se/ and on http://www.delphi.se/.

The list of cars is amazing. The law firm has issued this PDF on the web, which has 123 pages of vehicles from oldest to newest, showing two images of each vehicle. The first is the 1946 “Ur-Saab” shown below with its cool aerodynamic shape, to the museums tow vehicles which include and enclosed trailer and a Saab 9000 back-halved flat-bed hauler. There are formula race cars in Swedish colors, travel trailers, and modern show cars.

The law firm does not list any of the sale or bidding info in English, and from what we can tell the sale has not been publicized very broadly, with only a few days before bids are due. Click here for the full Swedish description of the terms of the sale. Below is an excerpt from the document translated by Google Translate regarding the bidding:

“Tenders

The factory building is shown below. We are sorry to see Saab go, as they had a long and interesting history. We hope these cool early specimens can go into appreciative hands. We thought these cars might be held by private owners or go to local VIP’s, so it is a surprise to see that they are offered by sealed bid auction over a 4 day period. Will we ever know where these cars went or how much they were sold for?
