Re:
Seems appropriate for my 900th post.....
There's a few pics and a bit of discussion with a fellow Saabist in my Pace thread, but thought I'd add something here.
My C900 2dr Carlsson
Technically, they never made a 2dr Version, all were 3dr with a Whaletail spoiler and available in Red, Black or White...200 of each colour/ each year from 1989-92
The Carlsson was a dealer conversion from the 'Standard' T16S - which added 'Airflow' bumpers, coloured body side mouldings, rear decor panel, Whaletail, side vent covers, fog lamps, carlsson decal body and bumper stripes, leather Carlsson steering wheel, 20mm lower suspension, double exhaust finisher, red box APC. Most are recorded as as T16S on their logbooks.
However, I've always liked the 2dr and often thought they should have offered the Carlsson as such....so that was my start point.
A genuine 2dr 'Notchback' T16S ( about 170 were made for the UK Market in total ) - same year as the 1st Carlsson's and in the best colour....black
It was then restored and Genuine Carlsson bumpers/ parts added and completed with Decals. The 2dr specific rear decor panel took a long time to source, but everything is now there bar the twin pipe exhaust.
I like it! - it looks factory but is my unique take on it. The Carlsson they should have offered ( + the 2dr body is stiffer, according to Abbott's that raced the 900 Tii back in the day
)
Anyway, Enjoy
