Classics by the Beach: February, 2022
I've been waiting to capture this lovely Saab 900 Turbo for a very, very long time, often seeing it while its owner does coffee not far from UMPH HQ and I simultaneously do something else that precludes stopping to make a closer inspection. Fortunately, the opportunity to properly ogle one of the most original examples of the highly innovative Swedish marque in Tasmania finally arrived at the February, 2022, installment of Classics by the Beach at Hobart's Sandy Bay. The car is strikingly original, featuring the super-classic Saab snowflake wheels (I don't know if that's what they're officially called or colloquially known as, but how could they not have attracted that moniker?), TURBO badging, headlight wipers, a sunroof, rear spoiler, a nifty three-spoke steering wheel that's vaguely reminiscent of a Momo Monte Carlo , an unusual but not unattractive green interior and the quirkiest seatbelt buckles I've ever seen. The duco and interior are first rate...
