Was mocked when new – now it is the world's most expensive Saab

6,500 Saab Lancia 600s were built. Only 60 of them are said to be left. Now one of them is for sale in the Swedish town of Bengtsfors.

It was actually built because Saab in the late 1970s did not have the money to develop a car themselves. However, the Saab Lancia 600 was derided in its contemporaries. Today it is the world's most expensive Saab.

The car, built in just 6,500 examples between 1979 and 1982, was a collaboration with Lancia that gave Saab access to the platform from the first Lancia Delta.

However, the car was derided in its contemporaries. Among other things. because it rusted away. And almost faster than the cars left the assembly line at the factory in Turin.

Sales began in 1980 and, according to Saab Planet, some of the first examples were sent to Denmark. Today, however, the world's perhaps most well-preserved Saab Lancia 600 has turned up at a dealer in Sweden.

The car has barely more than 2,200 kilometers since 1979, it has been treated undercarriage and has been kept inside every winter since. At the factory in Turin, Lancia did not make many changes to the license car that Saab bought.

However, it turned into a slightly larger heating device that was better suited to the Nordic climate. But the Italians did not think about rust protection directly from the assembly line. Actually not at all.

Today the car is at a dealer with a price tag of SEK 799,000. That is what Nyheter24 writes. Converted, this corresponds to 514,000 Danish kroner. Ergo, you won't find expensive Saabs.

However, it could be fun if the car came to Denmark. Because it was actually also a Dane who in 2019 bought the last car with the Saab logo ever. Read more about it here .
