Saab Museum rescued by Trollhattan - report

Finally, there has been some good news for Saab fans. According to a recent report appearing in British magazine Autocar, the Saab museum has been saved from destruction.

Administrators for the bankrupt company had been looking to break up the collection to maximise the selling price, but it is now reported that the city of Trollhatten has agreed to purchase the whole lot.

Some may argue that it is a priceless collection, it even includes the first ever Saab car - the Ur-Saab (pictured above), but the collection has been picked up for a reported price of £2.6 million (€3.1 million / $4 million).

So the proof of Saab's existence is worth one classic Mercedes or Ferrari? Shame. I also happen to think that the collection is priceless.

Though there could no longer be any new Saabs made, at the least the Saab Museum would continue to live on as a timeless reminder showing the greatness and glory of the Griffin for future generations.
