Trollhättan bids for Saab museum too

According to the mayor of Trollhättan the city of Trollhättan has put in a bid for the complete Saab museum. As we all know there are more than 500 bids (not all of them for the complete Saab museum of course). There are more then 100 Saabs in the Museum, see them in this pdf.

There is the Innovatum bid too, unfortunately they did not join forces. Let us hope that one of these bids is high enough for the lawyers!


Besides that there are a lot of other bids as mentioned before. Like the bid for the 2 Saab cars above driving the Mille Miglia rally from 2011. SteveMcKelvie and his rally partner Harald von Langsdorff noticed that two of the museum cars had competed in the 2011 running of the Mille Miglia rally.

The Mille Miglia rally might be the most prestigious rally in the world at this time and just getting a car accepted for the rally is quite difficult. For example, this year they already have about 1,600 applicants for the 375 starting positions. Many very elegant, very expensive cars are not accepted. So when Mille Miglia eligible cars are for sale it provides an opportunity for someone to be able to enter the Mille Miglia. Harald and Steve pooled some funds and submitted a bid. More about these guys and their story on their blog.
