SAAB 900 Turbo 16S Aero - Instructions

There are people who like SAABs.

 

Not very many, but the REALLY like SAABs.

 

One of my most often requested models for people to build for themselves is the SAAB 900. The model shown here, the 900 Turbo 16S Aero 3-Door is probably the most recognisable model of the type.

 

I have finally decided to get into Rebrickable though, and load up some designs. You can now download the instructions for the 900 Turbo 16S Aero at the following link:

 

rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-32874/lego911/saab-900-turbo-16s...

 

This is the 10th iteration of my SAAB 900 model, and has the benefit of about ten years of design evolution.

 

The model has a Lego Technic piston engine (hence the bump on the nose), mounted longitudinally, and geared to the front wheels. The model also has independent front suspension and also suspension at the rear.

 

Bodywork features opening doors and luggage door, folding rear seat, and even a spare wheel under the rear of the car.

 

I have tried to make the model fairly sympathetic to colour selection. Without modification the model can be built in the following colours:

 

Dark Red, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Tan, Reddish-Brown, White, Light Grey, Dark Grey and Black.

 

With a substitution for the luggage door hinge (#48336) to black, the model can also be built in:

 

Dark Green and Dark Blue.

 

For all you SAAB 900 fans out there, this is your opportunity to build your own functioning model.
