As requested. My wife has had soft tops ever since we’ve been married (31 years). The best was her SAAB 900 which got sold and she immediately regretted it. Roll on a few cars and the serious hints started some 7 months ago. We found this one in an unusual colour so it was purchased. It’s a TTiD with a 6 speed manual. It’s our first car with a DPF, so I’ll take to my work once a fourtnight to put a heat cycle through it. She is very pleased.

Our first one was a 900 Talladega 3 door in 98. We got that brand new and was a great car with a massive boot. Then the CEO changed her XR3i cabriolet for the 900 cabriolet, which is the one that got sold. Photo taken on a sunny day in Belfast.

ADI, have you had any issues with the DPF. All I’ve gathered so far is they’re a nightmare on this application. I try not to get sucked in as generally you only hear about owners with bother, but blimey |

This is why we bought the petrol option... Dont get too hung up on it though else you'll ruin the owner experience! What kind of miles has it covered? |
