I actually have two yellow SAABs. One if a 1973 99L in ambra yellow (Y8) and the other is a 99 convertible in India yellow (Y11). The 70s had many yellow colours like topaz yellow (Y12), Alabaster yellow (187) and the rather odd Yellow, Taxi 184 (Y10).

Thanks for using my photo btw.

I recently purchased a ’97 900 SE convertible in Monte Carlo Yellow from a co-worker. I never really though of it as anything special since I would park next to it everyday at the Saab dealer that we work at. Then one day she comes down and asks me if I’d be interested in a buying it and she need to pay to have an engine put in another 900 she had recently bought. When I asked here how much she wanted for it, she replied “$2000.” I said, “Let me get back to you…” and called a friend of mine who had been interested in my old 900 Aero convertible, and asked if she was still interested. The following day, I sold the Aero convertible and bought the MCY convertible. Since I started driving the car on a regular basis, I’ve fallen in love with it. It gets washed and waxed on a regular basis, never gets driven in the rain, and is getting put up for the winter very soon. It always turns heads and the local Saab crowd that I know can’t get over how nice it is. All in all I couldn’t be happier with it.

In april 09 the full restoration of a Monte Carlo yellow classic Saab 900 16s aero Turbo cabriolet will be ready. The car will be totally new: engine, transmission, brakes, bumpers, wheels, roof, lights, steering, etc etc
Just can’t wait to drive this dream Saab . . .

I went from a Silver Grey 97 Talladega to a 99 Monte Carlo. It took a little time to adjust to the bright yellow, but now it just brightens up a dull day. I don’t think I could ever go back to grey now.
I’ve always fancied a green Saab and lusted after a green 900 Aero once. Maybe green someday….

I was sitting in the dealership the other day looking out at a row of about 10 new 9/3s, in about 4 shades of grey, with one white car in the middle. I joked with the salesman that the Swedes must be a depressed bunch, all they can come up with for colors is variations on grey. So a yellow car looks pretty good to me, although I probably wouldn’t buy one. My new car is, you guessed it, grey.

It really pisses me off that the “regular” 9-3s are only available with those “usual” dark colors. I would’ve liked to order a yellow or a lime 9-3 Sport Combi. Now I’ve driven a black 9-3 SC for about a week. It’s awesome but I’d like to see brighter colors in Saab’s model range. Yellow color as a standard for all Saabs
