The centerpiece of the rich history of the Swedish car manufacturer Saab destroyed, the Saab Museum in Trollhättan, is in the grab bag. The 109 museum cars will go piece by piece under the hammer. That turned out today after Mayor Paul Akerland Trollhättan, Saab themselves former employee, said on Swedish television. The municipality wanted to keep the attraction as a whole, but the annual operating costs of around 650,000 euros, according Akerland where too high. Schools and go for care, he says.

Late September, the Swedish organization bailiff Kronofogden already confiscated the contents of the museum. Kronofogden wanted to sell the vehicles of the 150 million euro debt to its suppliers of Saab stories. Before the bailiff but action could proceed, the judge agreed with a reorganization which also the Saab museum was protected from old creditors.

From last monday the bankruptcy of Saab Kronofogden owns the museum and is underway to an open auction of the contents. A spokesman for Kronofogden said earlier that the service can not take account of feelings. "Our only task is to collect debts" was the reaction. It is not known whether all candidates to contact the officer sought to purchase the historic Saab cars.

The article shows clearly Saab fans have to unite if we want to have a spot with Saab heritage for the future! We`ve got the picture above from Talija Draga (thanks!).
