Right, '85 900T16 with Saab Airflow kit and Aero rims. Glenn and Doris bought this car brand new. Goldie, the only right hand drive Saab in the Ellis collection. '87 900T8v (intercooled, 155 hp) with Abbott Racing springs and Saab Silver Spoke alloys. I bet Glenn wishes to keep the names of the models classified... ;-)

...And the 2nd Saab in Dr. Delebinski's family...
Isn't that a Simons exhaust peeking out from underneath this 900T16S' rear end? Thought so. Cool... Colorcoded side mirrors and vent covers help, too.
