The Chairman’s letter

Chairman’s letter

2022, what a year it’s been for Saab, 75 years of the brand and marque and we celebrated.

My visits to Trollhättan and Sturgis proved just how strong the loyalty to the brand still is with such enthusiasm by everyone I met.

As we head into difficult times again with fuel of every type for home and travel and the thoughts with the continuing struggle for Ukraine and the next generation, S.E.C have put an idea on the table.

The young Saab owners are taking their cars to a new level and with this in mind we have put a package together. Tell us about your car, tell us what you’re doing or have done to it recently, the modification and the new look it’s been given. Do the article with photos now!

In exchange, if you are between 18-25 years of age we will give one years free membership.

If you are between 26-35 send an article too for half price membership for one year.

We realise next year could still be difficult for some members to attend an event, but in making an effort, it will bring everyone together and return the community spirit lost in isolation in the last few years.

While visiting the Saab North America Trudi was invited to join the Women of Saab. A sub committee in its infancy to bring the wives and girlfriends together. They support their partners in the obsession but as the club were strongly aware not always so enthusiastic. To encourage more women to feel included, rather than being left at home, the hope is, next time they will attend by taking the opportunity to visit places of local interest together or maybe take advantage of hotel treats.

Something to introduce here maybe?

I hope this coming winter isn’t long, grey and cold and an Indian Summer will stretch into the end of the year allowing more classic motoring.
