Beschreibung
This beautifully renovated and ready-to-drive 1964 Saab Sport is something truly special—not just because of its condition, but also because of its history.
The car was purchased in the early 1990s by Mr. Jensen, the parts manager for the Saab 96 Club. With his deep knowledge, passion, and extensive network, he found this example, which had been stored away and off the road since the early 1970s. It had even fallen off the Swedish vehicle register.
What followed was a meticulous, nut-and-bolt restoration. The car was completely stripped to bare metal, with every component rebuilt, repaired, or replaced using new or NOS (new old stock) parts. It was fully repainted, received some rechromed elements, and had tinted windows installed. The interior was entirely renovated and reupholstered to a very high standard. Given Mr. Jensen’s role with the Saab 96 Club, the level of detail and authenticity in this restoration is extraordinary.
The renovation was completed around 1995, and since then, the car was only used as a summer vehicle—mainly for Saab club events. Tragically, Mr. Jensen passed away in 2010 during an event at Anderstorp Raceway, where he was accompanied by his brother, also a devoted Saab enthusiast.
The car remained in the care of Mr. Jensen’s wife, stored properly in a heated garage. Now, 15 years later, she has decided it’s time to let it go to a new home. Just recently, her late husband’s brother serviced the car, replacing the ignition coils and rear brakes.
It’s truly hard to believe this restoration was completed 30 years ago—the car looks like it was finished yesterday. It runs perfectly, needs nothing, and is ready to be driven and enjoyed. For any Saab collector or enthusiast, this car checks every box: provenance, quality, rarity, and condition.
Simply turn the key—and enjoy.

Zustand technisch
Under the bonnet, the engine features triple carburetors and separate oil lubrication, as found on the Saab Sport. Factory-rated at 54 horsepower, it delivers a lively and engaging driving experience. The engine starts easily and sounds just right—crisp and confident.
Performance is strong, with good power delivery, smooth gear changes through the 4-speed manual gearbox, and no issues noted during test driving. The rear brakes have recently been serviced, and new ignition coils were installed to ensure reliable operation.
The car sits on a set of super nice, undamaged alloy wheels with good tires. It is inspection-exempt for life in Sweden and absolutely ready to be driven home and enjoyed. -
Zustand Interieur
interior is in remarkably good condition throughout. Everything was reupholstered during the renovation—including the seats, door cards, interior panels, headliner, and carpets—and remains clean and undamaged.
There are only a few minor observations: the stitching on the front edge of the rear seat has come slightly loose, there’s a small scuff on the driver’s door card pocket, and the passenger door pocket doesn’t clip closed properly (see pictures). The dashboard is neat and tidy, with all gauges fully functional—including the clock. A stylish wooden steering wheel adds a nice finishing touch to the cabin. -
Zustand Exterieur
Bodywork is straight and free from rust or damage, with only one minor flaw—a small, soft dent about 10 cm in size on the lower part of the right rear wing, barely noticeable in person. The paintwork is glossy and presents beautifully, still looking almost like new despite the restoration being completed nearly 30 years ago. The only paint imperfection noted is a small touch-up area under the boot lid (see picture). The exterior overall is neat and well-finished, with fine details and exceptionally nice, undamaged chrome throughout.

Quite honestly, it would be hard to find a finer example. This Saab Sport not only looks amazing—it drives just as well. It’s a rare opportunity to own a car that’s been renovated with such expertise, care, and deep knowledge of the brand.
