Delighted to have just acquired a beautiful 900i💚thanks Bjorn

[@kramnam4716]

Just love the scene where he’s lying in the back and the main concern is “can I move a tiny bit, sit up , and fall into the water “ 😂😂😂that’s a fellas proper thinking. ❤️

Pure Saab gold! The Classic Saab 900 was the perfect blend of form and function.

My father got, I believe, the first Red/Red 900 Ems in Germany. To this day the magic of sight, touch and sssssounds lives with me. It really felt like flying a super luxurious plane. Thanks Dad, thanks Saab. ♥️🌻:)

[@SmallBlogV8]

There are some great anecdotes in this, like the reason for the 1.8m flat floor and how a melting clay model defined the tail. His daughter's hidden design sketch was cute too

[@albertooliva60]

Thank you. really fantastic film . I'm a proud owner of a 900 turbo SAAB. First it belonged to my mother then it will belong to my daughter.

[@faethonas9000]

The most valuable video seen so far on KZbin about 900 and Saab in general....same time quite depressing, but that's life and rules of evolution.

[@williamchow7533]

Mr Envall was truly ahead of his time. His modular approach to chassis design (seen at 20:00) perfectly describes the Audi/VW "MQB" platform, which underpins everything from the Audi TT to the VW Arteon. It is a shame that GM management choose to get rid of talent like him just to save money. People like Mr Envall had the skills and knowledge that defined the very essence of SAAB. GM's ownership of SAAB should go down in automotive history as a salutory lesson in how not to nuture a car brand. I hope SAAB is revived one day, hopefully under more enlightened owners.

Vad roligt att se gamla SAAB- hjältar!

[@jotatanka]

Intelligent people made an icon of an intelligent automobile. Beautiful documentary.

[@stevebryan8]

Thanks for making this. I can’t believe I’m only seeing this now! This insight is invaluable to a Saab enthusiast. So nice to hear about the details and thought processes behind the design icon that is the classic 900.

[@KidMillions]

All credit goes to the original documentary makers from Holland, but their DVD from 2010 appears out of print, people at the Saab Club were unable to find it, so I put my copy online.

[@stevebryan8]

@@KidMillions where can I find this copy? I’d really like to see more.

[@KidMillions]

@@stevebryan8 This is the entire film of 25 minutes.

[@stevebryan8]

@@KidMillions ah ok. Got it! Thanks again for posting.

[@CTR207]

Excellent video 🙏🏼

[@robbeard6929]

A legend.

[@ronaldmoses48]

I need some more stories about saabs classic from the beginning

[@Gagarin007ful]

People like these are not born anymore.

[@nathanielnicholson559]

Sure they are. They just don't realize it... and if they do they get silenced. It's why I taught my kids to question everything and understand the difference between popular opinion and high quality.

[@Bananinga]

Heel mooi gemaakt!

[@ronaldmoses48]

Mr envall your a genius 🙏🏿😊👌🏿

[@marekkeerand279]

They don't make cars like this anymore :(

[@martinhendriks4583]

The Saab 900 Turbo Aero one of the most beautiful car ever created. I love it, would love to have the money to convert one with a replacement electric motor to be able to run it for the next 30 years.

[@OMENAHILLOKFGHT]

I LIKE OLD 900

[@svens7678]

wow, what a nice film. So full of empathy! Who are the people who made it?

[@slennie]

It's made by the Dutch camjo Godfried de Vries together with Leo Alexander Schlangen. www.donders900.nl/ (donder is "thunder" in dutch).

[@chriswalford9228]

Just got myself a 1988 900 classic 8v as a project
