The very last vehicles built by Swedish automaker Saab will go under the "hammer" in an online auction hosted by KVD.
The last batch of 78 Saab vehicles includes of 31 units of the 9-4X SUVs (of which only 700 were built), seven 9-5 Sportkombi models (30 produced) and 37 9-5 Sedans (54 units made). The auction also features some of the rarest Saab vehicles, such as the last factory produced 9-3X, one of the only three 9-3 SportSedan models painted Skyblue, and a 9-5 SportSedan TiD6 2.9 (Alpha) superdiesel.

The cars will be displayed at Wallhamn, near Gothenburg, on March 22, but you'll need to schedule an appointment to get to see them.

"We held a similar auction at the end of last year and noticed the strong following that SAAB still has around the world. The interest was enormous, both in Sweden and internationally. With the last cars now being sold we expect an equally high level of interest from Saab enthusiasts," said Per Blomberg, Business area manager at KVD.

The auction, that started on March 19, will end on April 3.
