FCP Euro Swede Speed Meet 2026

Above: 1986 Saab 9000 Aero

Above is one of the more uncommon Saabs. While this one is certainly eye-catching in its own right, this 9000 features a two year only design. This is a "flatnose" 9000, meaning the front fascia is more flat in appearance than the 1987 and later models. It's a little known fact about the early 9000s that often goes unnoticed from a quick glance.

Of course, how could we forget about the factory airflow kit, offered by Saab during the 1980s? These airflow kits are some of the most sought after accessories for any Saab enthusiasts. They were ordered from dealer catalogs, so they were produced in very limited numbers. They are less common on 9000s, but are more apt to be seen on a 900.

1993 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible

And now, a very clearn 900 Turbo, complete with European spec headlamps and 9000 Aero wheels.

1978 Volvo 245

A very clean example of an early "quad light" Volvo wagon. These are always a pleasure to see.

1969 Volvo 142

The 140 series is always a pleasure to see. Like the Saab 99, the 140 is the forebearer of an iconic Volvo that would follow in the years to come. I think we know that Volvo, and I think we know that Saab.

1986 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible

Like the 9000 from above, this 900 is also very uncommon. Debuting for 1986, the 900 convertible was produced in very limited numbers for its first production year. It was also produced in pre-facelift guise for only one year (1986).

Above: 1978 Volvo 245

This isn't your average Volvo 240. While it looks relatively normal, you'll notice it has 2 doors. Then you'll notice it has a Chevy 350 small block under the hood. Then you'll say "Wait a minute! They didn't make the 240 like that!" Then you'll realize you're looking at the only custom 240 2-door wagon with a small block. What a clean build!

Above: 1984 Saab 99 GL

We’re proud to say we saw this car first! Before it went up on Bring a Trailer, ONEC saw this car at the FCP Euro Swede Speed meet. This car is quite interesting: For one, the U.S. market stopped receiving the 99 after 1980, as the demand for the new 900 model far exceeded the demand of the older 99. However, production and sales continued in Europe until 1984. That makes this car an imported vehicle by definition!

Secondly, you might have noticed the Saab SPG paneling on the side. Yes, this car has been modified. While exterior modifications include new Ronal rims and SPG panels from a Saab 900, under the hood, this car touts a 16 valve turbocharged engine from a Saab 900!

The 99’s original Triumph based B-Series motor would be replaced by the new Saab designed H-Motor, but would only see the first 8 valve iteration. With its modifications, this is truly a 99 Aero, and perhaps an alternative 99 we might have gotten from factory if it continued to be developed. No, we haven’t forgotten about the Saab 90!
