1986 Saab 900i 8v Flat-Nose — Unique Diplomatic

Full selection of images available - please ask and I'll send over. The Provenance: Diplomatic Restoration Previously owned by Mariusz Stus, former Consul General of Poland in Belfast (2022-2024). A vintage enthusiast, he found it as a barn find and executed a massive, no-expense-spared restoration: Engine-Out Overhaul: Pulled for peak health; pistons fully redone. Engine Bay & Underbody: Fully stripped, detailed, entirely retreated and protected against elements. Rock-solid shell. Quoted by Ian from Saab Wisdom (renowned specialist) during inspection: "The best under-the-hood Saab of its age I've ever seen." History & Paperwork Authentic, lifelong Northern Irish car (pre-Brexit footprint). Comes with partial history due to barn-find status, but full physical receipts for all recent specialist work are present. Condition & Recent Professional Detail Just received a multi-stage professional detail inside and out. Spotless. The Retro Look: Rare genuine rear window louvre, classic front fog lights, twin-pipe exhaust tip, original metal hubcaps, 4 excellent high-tread tyres. Exterior & Inside: Metallic silver paint enhanced with Meguiar's ScratchX; black trim chemically restored. Immaculate cabin; only flaw is a tiny door panel burn mark shown in photos. Recent Mechanicals New fuel pressure regulator, new brakes all around, new boot gas struts, and fully overhauled window regulators. Note on Starting: Drives beautifully. Starts perfectly when cold. Like most 1980s K-Jet mechanical injection models, it takes a few extra cranks when warm (classic fuel accumulator vapor-lock quirk). Otherwise mechanically flawless. Legalities & House Deposit Sale Reason for Sale: Releasing funds to secure the deposit for my first home. Rare Asset: Includes original, highly valuable dateless NI plates (JIB 840)—highly collectible in the UK market. Freshly registered on Irish ZV plates with 12 months vintage tax paid (€56 rate). 100% NCT EXEMPT FOREVER. Any questions pls ask!
