The last 78 production Saabs up for auction in Sweden

(March 19, 2013) GOTHENBURG, Sweden — The last unique Saabs are now going to auction at KVD ' s marketplace. Among the lots are cars that were built in very limited numbers and a number of car models that Saab Automobile AB started to produce but that never came to the market. The auction, which features 78 Saabs, starts today (March 19) and concludes on April 3.

Among the cars are 31 Saab 9-4X. Only 700 were produced. The auction also sees the sale of seven of the 30 or so 9-5 Sportcombi that were produced and 37 of the 54 9-5 sedans for the 2012 model year that were built.



"We held a similar auction at the end of last year and noticed the strong following that Saab still has around the world. The interest was enormous, both in Sweden and internationally. With the last cars now being sold we expect an equally high level of interest from Saab enthusiasts," says Per Blomberg, Business area manager at KVD.   

Among the cars being sold are the last factory produced Saab 9-3X built by Saab Automobile AB and one of only three existing Saab 9-3 SportSedan in the color Skyblue. In addition, there is a Saab 9-5 NEW SportSedan TiD6 (Alpha) 2.9 superdiesel.

The cars will be displayed at Wallhamn, north of Gothenburg, on Friday March 22. For security reasons a scheduled appointment is required. To make an appointment send an e-mail with your name, contact details and which car you are interested in to saabauction@kvd.se by noon on Thursday March 21.

The auction has been commissioned by Saab's receivers in bankruptcy. The cars are being sold individually and bidding takes place on KVD Kvarndammen's market place http://www.kvd.se and http://www.kvdauctions.com.
