Saab arguably built the first affordable premium convertible with the 900 in 1986, and the second-generation 9-3 convertible followed in 2003, built at Magna Steyr near Graz. With signature Saab over-engineering, its hydraulic hood folds away at one touch in around 20 seconds beneath a hard tonneau, while DynaCage brings pop-up rear roll bars and reinforced A-pillars

The 2.8-litre turbocharged V6 produces 250bhp and 350Nm (258lb/ft) from 2,000rpm, driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. Quoted figures are 0 to 60mph in 7.0 seconds and 152mph, strong numbers for an underappreciated convertible

This 2006 Aero, finished in Parchment Silver Metallic with a dark fabric hood and grey leather seats wears the sportier front lip, side skirts, rear lip spoiler and twin exhaust outlets on 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels

Recent Invoices show an oil, oil filter and air filter service at Premier Garage Leek in January 2026, a new Exide battery in December 2025, and the air conditioning re-gassed with new Schrader valves at Harris Motor Company in March 2026, alongside an MOT

Buyers should familiarise themselves with the vehicles sellers rating for a full understanding of this vehicles condition

Turbo V6 pace, four seats and a one-touch hood make this a quick, usable and still underrated Scandinavian cabriolet
