Plans for the 2009 Saab Cabrio Challenge are taking shape and seeing there’s a complete lack of clarity as to plans for a Saab Festival this year, this might be an event for convertible owners to pencil in to their calendar.

Whilst there are some tasks to complete along the way, the event is not so much a ‘challenge’ but an experience, and should provide for some inspirational driving for Saab convertible owners who are making their way to Sweden in June.

From the website:

Saab CabrioChallenge 2009 will take place Saturday the 27th of June. The starting point is still a secret but we will end up somewhere in scenic Kolmarden. One day of wonderful driving, assignments and competitions is completed with a nice dinner and stay at a hotel/mansion near Norrkping. On Sunday we will join the “scenery tour” together with a B-engine Convertible gathering in the vicinity of Norrkoping.

Two days of Saab Convertibles, how about that?

Everyone who owns or drives a Saab Convertible is welcome to participate. We will provide nice looking decals etc. as well as financial support for for example the Saturday dinner. (Last year Saab Automobile payed for the dinner and a nice gift to all participans)

More information will be published here shortly. To sign up send an e-mail containing name, e-mail address, phone number and car modle as well as the number of participants per car to info-at-cabriochallenge.se

Some photos from the 2008 event, which was the first of it’s kind.

    Cabrio Challange will be awesome!:)

    There will be a Saab festival this year,question is however if it will be with Saab official support or without due to the economical situation.

    I guess STCS ,Saabklubben etc are discussing it at the moment.
