The private seller offers for sale this 1976 Saab 95, powered by a 1.5-litre V4 petrol engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. It is finished in a warm brown shade that suits the car’s distinctive lines perfectly, set off by chrome window surrounds, chrome hubcaps and the large black impact bumpers of the later models. Up front, the typical Saab grille with its central badge sits between rectangular headlamps, while the rear features the unmistakable sloping estate tailgate and vertical tail lamps. Inside, the dashboard houses the original Saab-branded radio and the classic instrument cluster, and the seats are covered in a period checked fabric in brown and beige tones.

According to the seller, this Saab 95 has been restored and is in good condition. The seller rates the bodywork and the mechanical side of the car highly, while the interior shows the typical wear of a car of this age, offering a new owner the opportunity to further personalise it. With its folding rear seat, the 95 offers a practical load area, making it as usable today as it was when new.

The Saab 95 was introduced in 1959 as the estate version of Saab’s compact range and remained in production until 1978, sharing its front-end design and mechanical layout with the famous Saab 96. Created in Trollhättan, Sweden, by a company that started out building aircraft, it carried the aerodynamic thinking and solid engineering for which Saab became known. In 1967 the original two-stroke engine was replaced by a V4 four-stroke engine, which gave the 95 more refinement and made it a dependable everyday car. Around 110,000 examples of the 95 were built, and today it is a much-loved classic with an enthusiastic following across Europe.

With its front-wheel drive, robust construction and compact V4 engine, the Saab 95 offers secure, predictable handling and a charming driving experience. The design, with its rounded front, curved windscreen and practical estate rear, remains instantly recognisable more than four decades on. This restored example is an attractive choice for anyone looking for a characterful and usable Swedish classic that will stand out at any classic car gathering.
