That brings back fond memories - my old man's 99 EMS (now that's a rare beasty these days!) had the exact same interior. Those vinyl bits don't half heat up in the sun you know. Not great when you're 7 and wearing short shorts. |

in saab circles there's much debate  as to whether saab 99 turbos are actually EMS with turbo's, as the EMS was supposed to be the top of the range. under the door cards on my turbo, it does say "EMS". cabins do get warm..... |

Hi Matt! Lovely car! I have a '73 Non Turbo and have just picked up some genuine Ronal Minilites for it. I'm not really A fan of the Inca's (Dons Flameproof suit!) But I reckon some deep dish minilites or dare I say it 16" aeros......  |

My 78 also has EMS on the drivers door. And US on the passenger  the V5 calls it an EMS turbo combi coupe. Sadly not many EMSs have survived. The turbo is rare, the EMS is uber rare. |

Ironically, my Dad's EMS became a turbo . . . when the injection went in the late '80s he sold it to a chap who was after something to re-shell his 900 turbo into. It was needs must back then I suppose. Mildly sacreligeous now I've not seen an EMS since! Got one in the 'bucket in order to reminisce though;  |

hmmm, I like the incas...I reckon a set of those would look smart on my 9000. In my opinion, the 99 looks sweet as is  |

I think you'll find the reason for there being EMS stamped here and there is because the 1st of the 99T's (3dr) were based on the EMS. They were an EMS body and interior and engine to a certain degree. There were a few modifications made to the motor and the same with the EMS gearbox (bearing sizes and final drive ratio) and suspension. I don't know if the later 2dr models still had EMS stamped about them or not. The interior was still the same, as was the engine, but I suspect they had dropped the EMS stampings by then as the EMS was no longer available. Will |
