The photo opportunity of a lifetime at the 2022 Saab Festival

June 10th during this year’s Saab Festival is set to become a truly memorable day. Not only because of the fact that on this day, it will be 75 years ago since Saab announced their first car “Project 92”, but also because of the once-in-a-lifetime photoshoot we’ll be organising for Saab 9-5NG and 9-4X owners in Trollhättan.

“The 9-5NG/9-4X photo opportunity of a lifetime”

“The 9-5NG/9-4X photo opportunity of a lifetime…”

The photo session is, once again, organised by 9-5NG owner Henrik Zaar, the same Saab enthusiast who has been the driving force behind similar photoshoots in 2017 and 2019, and of course the 9-5NG and 9-4X Production Reports. The photoshoots in previous years were great and are still much talked about in the Saab community, but this time, Henrik assures us, the photo session will truly be a “once-in-a-lifetime experience”!

When and where

The exact location for the session is still a secret at this point (and remain so until just minutes before the departure to the location!), but all interested Saab 9-5NG and 9-4X owners are invited to join with their respective cars and to gather at the parking lot at NEVS Tekniska (Flygfältsvägen 9 in Trollhättan) on Friday 10 June from 13:30, for a departure at 14:55 sharp.

Any updates to the schedule and other information will be posted on this page, so be sure to check regularly!

Important: be on time, preferably arrive already by 13:30
