Description
This car was first registered in March 1959. History does not reveal where it was originally delivered, but it eventually made its way to Dalarna, where it was owned and used by two owners over a period of approximately ten years. The car was later relocated to Örebro, and in 2018 it was acquired by its current owner.
The current owner is a dedicated Saab enthusiast with several garages full of Saabs, the majority of them two-stroke models. The car was subsequently dismantled, with the body being restored and repainted. The engine was also removed and replaced with an 850 cc engine from 1966, fitted with a 1964 cylinder head.
In addition to the bodywork and paint restoration, the following work has been carried out:
Completely new braking system throughout
Refurbished crankshaft
Rebuilt carburettor
Rebuilt generator
New battery
New shock absorbers
New floor mats, front and rear
Reno sport steering wheel
Original sport exhaust system
New windscreen
Tyres from 2004 with good tread remaining
Hubcaps included
According to the description below, the interior is the main area still requiring attention.
The car will be delivered with a fresh inspection certificate and no remarks.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The engine and transmission perform well, and all technical functions are in proper working order. There are no further issues to note. The underbody is in very good condition, as shown in the photographs.
-
Interior condition
The interior is the car’s Achilles’ heel. The front seats are worn and cracked in places. The same applies to the door panels and the rear-seat side panels. A roll of new fabric, similar to the original material, is included with the car. At the time of inspection, a seat cover set was installed and is in good usable condition. A headliner is included but has not been installed. The car features a stylish sport steering wheel and an attractive dashboard.
-
Exterior condition
Repainted throughout, as previously mentioned. The chrome and glass are in good condition. New trim has been installed around the doors and windows, along with a new windshield. The tires have good tread depth but are approximately 20 years old. There is no significant cracking visible in them.
-
General condition
The car presents a very good overall impression and is guaranteed to attract plenty of attention at summer car meets. With a little care and attention to the interior, you'll have a truly charming 'Jungle Drum' to cruise around in under the summer sun.

Facts about the model
The Saab 93B was launched in September 1957 as an improved and more modern version of the original Saab 93, which had been introduced in 1955. Drawing heavily on Saab's aviation heritage, it became an iconic Swedish automobile with a distinctive place in automotive history.
Production Period: Manufactured from September 1957 until August 1959.
Design and Bodywork: Styled by renowned designer Sixten Sason.
Engine and Performance: The car was powered by a 748 cc three-cylinder two-stroke engine producing 33 horsepower in its original form. Power was transmitted through a three-speed manual gearbox.
Technical Updates: During the autumn of 1958, the model received upgraded, more powerful brakes. It also featured a 12-volt electrical system, which was considered unusually advanced for its class at the time.
Export History: The Saab 93 was the first Saab model to be exported on a larger scale, with a significant portion of production sold in the United States.
Successor: The model was briefly replaced by the transitional Saab 93F, which featured front-hinged doors, before the groundbreaking Saab 96 took over in 1960.
Door Configuration
The Saab 93B was equipped with rear-hinged doors, commonly referred to as suicide doors. The hinges were mounted at the rear edge of the door, causing the doors to open toward the front of the car.
The development of the 93-series doors followed this sequence:
Saab 93 (1955–1957): Featured a split windshield and rear-hinged doors.
Saab 93B (1957–1959): Introduced a one-piece windshield but retained the rear-hinged doors.
Saab 93F (1959–1960): Received front-hinged doors, paving the way for the Saab 96.
