Here's a decent Saab 900 Ruby 185 for sale.

Recently there was an email about older Saab cars and you suggested that the best one to invest in is a 900 Ruby 185. As it happens I know where there is a lovely one for sale: www.specialistcars.net/newspecialistcars/carpages/155.html.

I can absolutely vouch for it as it used to be mine and is a very good example of a brilliant classic Saab 900. I couldn’t keep it as I haven’t got the space for two cars and anyway it wants using regularly.

Top piece of kit in top condition. As they say, probably a good investment at £5495. Unfortunately I just bought a house in a moo-bahn in Bangkok so my funds aren't available.
