For sale is my SAAB 9-3 Viggen coupe.
(for full viggen details please see here..... Abbott Racing - The Viggen Story)
Its a 1999 model in blue with blue/black leather interior.
Its taxed unitil April 2011 and has mot untill jan 2012.
This car is my pride and joy, i have owned it for 4 years and it has been cared for to a very high standard. The car currently has 110k on the clock but has been totally rebuilt mechanicaly since ive owned it from 91k.
The engine was fully rebuilt at 94k with a b234r (9000 aero) bottom end and the orginal b235r (viggen) top end. This combo was choosen for the strength of the older engine but with the better and more modern cylinder head and ancilaries. While apart i also had the crankshaft lightened and balanced, removed and blanked off the balancer shaft chain drive and fitted a lightened Abbott racing billet flywheel. The result is a nice responsive engine that revs very freely. The engine has always been run on fully synth oil and never uses a drop. The engine was also fitted with the latest revision of breather kit, a part often overlooked and know to cause problems if not updated.
Not long after the engine rebuild the gearbox gave up so was replaced with a lower millage unit and a quaiffe atb diff fitted at the same time. the diff makes a massive differance to the drive of the car offering more grip and increased cornering control.
It has all the usual extras including...
Climate control
Cruise control
electric drivers seat
heated front seats
Leather viggen steering wheel with computer controls
saab carpet mats
6cd changer
heated door mirrors
adjustable wiper speed
etc
The outside of the car is in good condition apart from the front splitter having a few scuffs, the rear bumper has a scuff on the o/s and the leading edge of the bonnet has a few small stone chips.
The interior is very clean and tidy with just the usual small amount of wear on the drivers bolster.
Ive fitted some extras to the vehicle to remove some of the orginal cars handling issues. these include... polly bushed rear axle, front tca bushes, arb drop link bushes and inner wishbone bushes, front strut brace, steering rack clamp + brace. This setup is often know as a viggen rescue kit!
The car has recently had new front brake pads and has just had new rear discs and pads fitted. the car comes fitted with the original 17" wheels which are a little scuffed but clean up ok. its just had 2 new front tyres fitted and the rear tyres are almost new.
