Mahindra & Mahindra has placed a bid for Saab too

Also the Indian carmaker Mahindra & Mahindra has placed their bid for Saab too! Let`s hope the soap ends soon now and that the Saab factory can restart soon.


There was also a press-conference this morning held by the bankruptcy administrators by telephone. According to them their intention is to sell Saab as a whole. Saab `ll just go to the one with the highest bid.

New bid for the Saab car factory

New bid for the Saab factory
According to Dagens Industri there is a new bid for Saab, they do not mean the multi-billion bid from Youngman but an other European company. Frederick Sidahl, president of Automotive Suppliers, FKG has not given up hope that the Saab factory in Trollhättan can resume production "we have received prior notice from the administrators that they are working to sell Saab as a whole". This statement is not changed, he told Dagens Industri.


Saab Museum Gallery
Alexander has made a new Saab Museum Gallery, some pictures are old, some new, all of them a have higher resolution as the pictures in the earlier galleries he has made.

Do you have pictures too from Saabs in the wild or in the museum? Feel free to share them with us on our Facebook page!

Youngman bid for Saab rejected!

Sad news.

How fast can things go. According to different sources the Youngman bid is rejected. The receivers seem to hope for a higher bid and/or a better result when Saab is cut into pieces.

They have an offer from Youngman of several billion crowns now, let's wait and see if Brightwell (or Mahindra) can offer the receivers a better deal. All we can do now is wait and be patient.


There are rumours that Brightwell is in contact with GM and working on a bid. As long as it remain rumours it's maybe better not to give it much attention.

Youngman has placed the bid for Saab

Youngman did place a bid for Saab! They want to make cars in Trollcity! Let us hope their bid is high enough. What a great news! Museum is saved, the factory maybe very soon follows. Rachel if you read this: THANK YOU!!!!


Youngman launched its bid as early as last Monday, they really want to build cars in Trollhättan. The current bid is three billion (swedish crowns I suppose). Now the receivers are considering it. It`s still possible that Mahindra & Mahindra from India or Brightwell (from Turkey) make a better bid compared to the Youngman one. But it seems 2012 is the year new cars `ll be made in Trollhättan!

It is the end unfortunately for the 9-4X SUV (which was in fact a Mexican car and not made in Trollhättan) and the Saab 9-5NG. The 9-5NG is too much competition for GM apparently, they do not want to give Youngman (or anyone else) the right to build this great Saab. I for myself think it is still possible that GM changes his/her mind (nah, it is a his). There is a saying "if you can`t beat them, join them". It`s nearly a fact that they could not beat Saab, so... it does not make sense to see Saab as a foe instead of a client.


Youngman wants to build New-Saab 9-3`s and Lotus sportcars in the Trollhättan factory. The Saab factory is one of Europe's most modern and efficient factory for cars.
